there not as good (205-40-r17) what I plan on getting iz 215-45-r17(maybe in spring and sell the 205's to someone else)

I dont remember exactly where I got it from... But the one found on crutchfield.com is similar to it (has the actual harness) than a red 12v wire you have to run for power. and **** slips in the snow even when I had stock rims/tires in the front, the car would juss glide whenever I made a turn, whenever i switched lanes, or even sometimes when i press the break. It's a good thing I have some experience in winter driving. After a while I decided not to drive the car in winter (well atleast not when it snowing hard). I would have got Winter tires, but I know that sometimes other people dont know how to drive well when its winter, and It's too many problems. I think that's probably why people get winter beaters. (I dont have one, but I drop my mom off at work and take her car lol)

18s are what you need

pretty good actually (when i had steelies), but now with my 20540zr17 tires on my 17 inch adr rims, it seems very rough when I go over bumps. No alignment problems. Dont really see the need for a camber kit, but it should be useful for handling

The last picture is photoshopped... (this is the kind of drop I'm expecting once I get Air ride suspension)
