I love my 205/50's and frankly, I wouldn't mind /55's. 55s are not especially a common size, though.

You should not get lock from auto zone they all have the same key. Get something like mcgard they all have diffrent keys and they come with a code so if you lose your key you call them up and they send you a replacement one.

40 just be carefully hitting deep rutts, 45 is a little steep for 17;s

The ride's a little poorer than I'd like, but that's largely due to the higher Neuspeed Race springs rates.

As for the gap, yeah definitely. I personally really didn't like the look of 40-series tires back when I was only dropped an inch and change. 50-series tires didn't really help the car look much lower, but at least it wasn't highlighting the gap like the 40-series did.

I'll see, they came with yokohama 205 40 17's that are worn from camber, but ill put em on and see how it looks.

Yeah! thats what i was hoping, because running 40's with stock height might look a bit off haha

sup guys, just wanted to let you know that i put the rims on just now
Think they look good, cept for that horrendous gap :'(
Hopefully it will get reduced once i put on the 205 50 17's
Currently running on the 40s, well at least three. One of the tires has a screw in it -_- Will try and get a temp fix for it so i can run on all 4 rims. Reason i can do all this temporary stuff is that the car isnt a daily driver. Its in the garage for most of the time because it needs a windshield.
Anyways, will get pics tomorrow, hopefully its sunny

New Pics

Hey guys, finally got some pics of her with the new shoes
also stole my dads sun roof visor as well

Heres some pics

[Fiveiron_42]

I definately like it! A drop in the near future?

[rave93]

By the looks of that gap most likely haha
I'm planning on running 205 50's instead of the 40s that are on there. Might decrease the gap

[TheNextEpisode]

It should.

If nothing else, the tires will at least seem meatier. Imo that gives the impression of less gap, even if actual gap has hardly changed.

[Fanatix]

looks good. I would recommend lowering it. What lugs did you end up using?

[cb7_ex_coupe]

imo the ideal size for tires on 17 inch rims for our cbs would be 215/45R17...and the tire will look a lil stretched with 205s depending on the width of the rims..
