I think the 17's would look much much better with the car lowered.

I have 19"s and im pretty slammed and still have room for more rubber. I wish I would have orderes 40 series instead for a little more traction but I was worried about clearance. The 19's rock if your into road driving. ie M6 in the country roads cornering and excelerating through the turns. I couldnt be happier from that aspect. Only thing that sucks is finding drag radials and the 30 series lacks traction from a dig. If I can find 40 series drage radials I would be estatic.

heres a pic


oh P.S. Ignore my crappy looking exhaust. I have sweet looking 3.5" polished stainless Magnaflow now that looks and sounds

They come in a few different finishes. They dont list them on the site but they sell Nittos and bigger sizes than they list. I got mine shipped to my door balanced with 275/30/19 Nitto 555 extreme's for $2500. Just make sure you pick up some McGuard Spline drive lugs for them. the ones they send you are crap and the McGuards are hard to beat.

Cheers!

ooops, operator error!

Oh and like I said, Nittos run thin so I think you could deffnitly fit some 285/40/19's under there with no issues (if they make that size). I have never had any rubbing or clearance and Im lowered 1.5.

Shane how wide are those 19's? I may only go 18's with more tire the roads in nebraska suck *** they dont keep them up I hate to hit a pot hole and bend a 19" rim with less tire. Got any more pics of your car?
