Picture Request: 17s and lowered
Im trying to decide between 17s and 18s when I get new wheels but havent seen very many SS people with 17s and lowered. I will be dropping my car so Id prefer them to be lowered.

Go 18s IMHO those 17s above look like they have too big of a tire.

^^ This.
17"s on a SS looks quite small.

Here's my LS on 17"s

That's because my side wall is 45. And the design of the tire makes it look like that. My new nittos look different

If you don't want to drive the car hard, or race, 18's are fine. 17's are nicer at the track, they allow a little more sidewall, and the lightweight wheels typically stop at 17

Not 100% sure yet but I think im going to go with these EDR9s.



They're 17x8 with +38 offset. At first I wanted a little stetch look but I got over that. So im thinking either 215 or 225s but im indecisive on aspect ratio...
