Does anyone have pictures they are willing to share of their 45 profile tires and the amount they dropped the car on them? I made a thread trying to find some coilovers, but for now maybe some good springs would work out for now. If that ends up happening, maybe I can find the correct drop to have very little or maybe even no wheelgap at all. Thanks guys, I apprecaite it. ^^

45 is a percentage of the width. so 215/45 would look different from 225/45 (not by much, but the aspect ratio would differ)

Here is 225/45/16



harder to see the tires here

Your car is beautiful! That's exactly what I want to get. 45 profile and no wheelgap. Hopefully I can see a picture of a 17" wheel and 45 profile. Hopefully I can get the drop amount too.

Ahh, I found a set of coilovers, looks like I can just raise/drop accordingly to work with the 45 profiles. Thanks guys

Just read your WTB thread. I'm actually on Tanabe Pro-SS II also too

Lucky bastard! I can't find those at all after calling in around 17 different states and 200 stores. The best I could find is the S-0C Type II. I'm a bit worried though as the vendor (not Tanabe themselves) says that the dampening of the 92-96 version (The one I bought, but I have a 1997 Prelude) is different than the 97-01 version. The part number is exactly the same and I triple checked it on Tanabe's website. I'm praying both versions actually the same and the vendor was wrong.

Both the 4th gen and 5th gen versions are TSC008X.

Most guys go with a 40 series tire on 17" wheels. It's closer to the OEM overall diameter.

I just posted pictures of my beater with 17s wrapped in 225/45s.
