Looks awesome. You are a better man than me if you can stand the ride quality for more than 3 weeks. The ride wa soo bad on my sportlines, they only lasted 2.5 weeks on my 00 WS6. They looook really good though.

haha thanks man, the ride quality doesnt bother me not one bit. the only thing about the sportlines that bothers me is that my front airdam scrapes on EVERYTHING. i love the stance though so i realllly don't want to change them

gotta be honest...it looks too low in the front. Rear looks good, but I don't know that I could stand it. My Strano's make the front scrape on quite a bit.

Man every picture I see of sportlines look way lower than the springs on my car, not sure what it is about it....Yours looks good, front might be a tad to low but it can pull it off

<--- More sportlines

Looks good man. And I personally wouldnt run any spacers. A few yrs back I ran 1 inch spacers with spare 17x9 zr1s etc that I had. It made them look more agressive at some angles. But other angles, it looked ghetto. Just looked like a "thin" wheel that was pushed out. I'll never do it again. Don't worry though man. Im sure you'll upgrade to some 17x11s at some point.

With the factory 16s 1" hub spacers/adapters would be perfect.
winter shoes






IMO,with the 17 x 9s unless you have a +55 offset or more, don't waste your time/money.
