Did some searching and couldn't find the answer to my question, so...

I am looking at this wheel and tire package for my 94 gt..

http://www.rim1.com/Items/17%20mr7%20GUNME...17%20toyo%20fz4?

Would the 17's with the 205-40-17 tires work fit on my car? Once again, stock suspension... no lowering.. nothin.

Also.. if they do fit, would I ever be able to lower my car with them, and how much?

Sorry if my questions seem stupid wink.gif

Thanks for any input! smile.gif

Man, 17s on our cars look too small. =/

The next rims I get are going to be 18s and the tire is going to be thicker than the ones I got. I feel every single crevice, pebble, grass leaf, etc. on the road, LOL!

ok, not to pick on you but in general, what's with people thinking they need the biggest size rims possible? I mean come on, some people just get the biggest wheels they can find, blind to performance setbacks and losing driveability. I can't remember what post it was "my 18s aren't big enough, i need 19s or 20s" 1 inch difference isn't gonna look that different, come on guys.

But as for switching to 18s, the ride is just gonna get that much rougher. If you get the bigger wheel and stick with the same sidewall then your speedometer will be inaccurate. If you complain about feeling every crevice, pebble, grass leaf etc then get a smaller wheel size!
