Default Urgent: Need Help On Tire And Wheels

Finally after all this time(1 year) of driving around like a ricer with only an exhaust and clears, i know, I was a newb, I am finally buying rims and dropping it this week. I just have some questions about this setup and what you think, and if you're running the same.

RH C2 evo 17x7
Kumho 215-45-17 WR

Tokico blues
Neuspeed sports

I am going to order within the next few days and really appreciate opinions.

I want a tire combo that won't rub on the fender when it bounces or turns, with a semi-stiff ride but not way too sporty. Thanks

well i dont have any of those but your setup should be just fine. i have 17x7.5 rims on my tokicos and sportlines.. no rubbing issues on my side and my car is dropped lower than the setup your planning on getting.. the only real concern is the offset of the rims

Can you guys also give me some info on struts. Been reading up and searching and sounds like Tokico blues aren't the favorite around here...there too soft and bouncy? PLEASE GIVE what you think is good for at most $350 for all 4 struts. Semi-sporty feel.

I'd take a look at the KYB AGX!
