sorry for the big pic, not sure how to resize it.

17's are prob the biggest that you would want to go, but it's gonna look like a 4x4 if you don't lower it some also.

Gracelyn5290 · 08-05-2010, 10:30 AM

awesome! thanks for the pic too. and i do plan on lowering it after i get the rims. how much should i lower it? how much does it cost?

Shopping Cart - Review Your Items And Click the Checkout Button is this a good deal? will they fit my car? do you guys think they will look nice? my car is dark green, should i get 16" instead?

Theres nothing in your link. I would go with 16s but thats just me.

Gracelyn5290 · 08-05-2010, 12:51 PM

oops sorry let me try again kyowa 626 rims and tires packages. kyowa 626 black flat wheels and tires packages at WheelsNext.com and its going to have 205/40/17 falken tires

Get 16's or 17's only.

I had 18's on my 5th gen...but I wouldn't recommend them. I'm glad I got rid of them.

indylude18 · 08-05-2010, 12:54 PM

Those wheels in the link you posted will fit just fine. You might want to consider 215/45/17 tires to go with them.

Gracelyn5290 · 08-05-2010, 01:55 PM

why not 205/40/17? i like the thin tire look but i dont want the rim to be to big you know?

indylude18 · 08-05-2010, 02:19 PM

215's yield a little more rubber on the road, which will result in better traction. Running a 45 vs. 40 series tires will help a little with rim protection and ride quality. I bought a 40 series tire for my 17's, but I immediately wished I got a 45 once I got them mounted. There is very little side wall height on a 215/40/17 tire. It would be even less on a 205/40/17.

Gracelyn5290 · 08-05-2010, 02:27 PM

the website im buying the rims from only allow me to get 205/40/17 with the falken tires i want tho

indylude18 · 08-05-2010, 02:40 PM

It is possible that falken doesn't make tires in the other size I suggested. 205/40/17 will work if you are dead-set on that tire, but IMO 215/45/17 would be a better choice.
