if they are a 38mm offset, you should be ok with dropping it with Eibach pro-kit springs.
alot of people are running the 19x9.5 HP wheels with a 38mm offset and a slight drop (pro-kit) with no rubbing issues at all.

Will it look like a 4x4 if I dont drop it or will it look the same as it does now w/the 17's?

Well, my car is lowered with the BMR kit and I have the same rims and have no issues. I did use a dead blow hammer to roll the rear fenders a little.

Here's some closeups of the front and rear wheels and fenders...

Which BMR kit do you have?I have seen pictures of your car before and thats the one I see when I look at my Firehawk.Its Pewter also.I want it to have that exact stance.

Alchemist- By the way what offset are those?Thanks.

The BMR lowering springs are from 4 years ago, so I'm not sure exactly which one it is. The springs are red "INTRAX" if I remember correctly.

The offset is the 38mm.

Thanks for the compliment, imitation is the highest form of flattery.

3 cars with 19x9.5 HP Rims. If you use a prokit you will get a little rub unless you roll the rear lip a little

i'm getting 19 hpr5s soon, should i be worried if i put anything in the trunk or backseat passengers? anyone ever do that before?

Get G2 springs instead of Eibachs and you wont have a problem. 4 people can be a concern unless you roll the lip with eibachs since they are softer.

i was planning on running g2s anyway. i may roll the lip anyways just to be on the safe side. i rubbed before with stock 16 inch tires and stock height. thanks
