Yes yes those look good auffy. and you said it is lowered? haha i think we have a winner. but i have one more question.
when it says 17X7 or 17X8 what does the X7 mean haha sorry really dont know my tire stuff and depending on what that means which ones would be better? |

the 17 of the 17X7 stands for rim diameter in inches, the 7 or 8 in your case stands for inches of width. if your gonna get 17X8 look into a 225/45R17 tire, if your gonna do 17X7, 215/45R17 tire will be good! just my opinion! BTW my car is dropped about 1.75 inches. factory rim on my car was 15" so the actual drop was only around a inch or so!

16's are perfect for looks and ride quality. 17's are nice for looks!

Very true garin, if you pick too low of a profile tire! with 17 you can still fit 45's with a 2 inch drop and still have plenty of room without having to roll the fenders! I have 17's with 45 series tires and have amazing ride quality just as good as stock wheels and tires!

I'm runnin' 18s with a (I'm almost certain this is the right size) 225/45 tire. Dropped using S-tech springs, ride quality is good and I don't rub.
