SSC are lower than sportlines? I thought they were .5" higher at least. I wouldn't think the tires would make that large of a difference.

no idea how you could be at the exact same height. this is as low as possible the stance coils will go with locking rings removed and i am on 17's and i have no idea. getting it aligned in the next couple days. probably gonna dial it in at -1.5*

Hmm, so 17x8 in +28. What size tire would be good for that wheel? 205/45?

Just for a comparison, I am on Stance coils at full low with the locking rings still in place and on stock wheels. Mine is 24" in the front and 24 3/4" in the rear.

Yeah I'm really hoping I get it. I was stationed in Lemoore back in '02 and I hated it up there. Fresno was cool for street racing but that was all the area had going for it.

Depends on if you want stretch. Honestly you dont need to stretch to fit that set-up, so I personally would go with 225/45/17. I like the wider tire, when its lowered all the way it looks like a race car. Otherwise 205/45 will give you the stretch your probably looking for.

205/45/17 on a 17x8


But I like this look more when its lowered more:

225/45/17 on 17x8
