i have grapled with the 16-17 question for a year now and i decided to go with 17's cause i don't race and ill take these off every fall and replace with winter tires. i just want them to look good. if i ever get into auto-x i would pick up a set of light weight 16's but for now i think im going with 17's.
with that much of a drop wouldnt the 17s rub? wat kind of tires r u going to run? 215s i believe will rub...then with that drop...
no 205/40 i dont think ill have any rub because they size almost identicaly to 285/65 (i think thats what i have now on a 14" steelie) i did some tire sizing thing at some point and you can find the correct profile for proper fittiment. it gives a visual compared to the orig and this set up is almost identical maybe larger by 1 cm.
