Yeah so Im lookin for rims... and I was just wondering...

I dont wana lower the car, and I dont want the car to be any lower than it aready is... (I scrape too much frown.gif)

So Im wondering... I think stock rims are like 15" right and with tire like another 2"... so that basically is 17"s right there...

Im wanting to get 17" rims. and with low profile tires thats like another inch... will that be any problem for me? Will it raise up the car a bit, lower, stay the same? Im not exactly sure...

Kinda a weird question, but thanks for your help biggrin.gif If you dont get what Im askin I'll be glad to explain myself wink.gif

yea 215-45-17's will raise about .4". another optioin if youre looking to raise your car a bit is 225-50-16, that will raise about .5".

i went with 16's for a few reasons: ride quality, brake rotors fill the wheel better, little bit cheaper, more rim protection (dont want to hit a pothole with a low-pro tire), and i like the look better with more rubber.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
