PROBLEM: The package that I am getting I dont think comes in 205/50s. They only come in 215/45...

Is this going to be a problem? I am getting them from www.tires.com so I can get the package of the wheels and tires, together.

You've never scraped your front lip? How is the ride quality? I do TONS of highway traveling. Thanks
Prokit is 1.5/1.5 and Neuspeed is 1.8/1.5 or something I think.

I like the ride and drop. I've only scaped my front lip once...ever. I'm careful though.

Ride comfort is so relative depending on each person. But I think the ride is great. My non-car buddies never know my car is lowered until I tell them, even if they ride in it.

For me, the ride is firm, but not uncomfortable. For me, a little more firm ride doesn't bother me at all, and even if it did a little, the handling and looks far outweigh it.

I'm still on stock shocks, I think Koni Yellows are going in this spring.

But yes, I would recommend them.

It's not a big deal. Your speedometer will read 1.4% faster, meaning your odometer will rack up 1.04 miles for every mile. Ride will be a little stiffer due to the smaller sidewall the the tires will be wider.

Will it be a huge problem with the car looking lifted?

Like jschmid said, you're going to have to lower it anyway...it's an optical illusion, which I had never thought about/realized before.

Your sidewall will be 1.2 inches smaller (compare to 1.0 for the correct size), and diameter will be .a inches smaller (0.0 for correct). Don't worry about it, you'll be fine.
