Is it just me or do 17"s just tend to look small? I've got the Eibach Pro Kit on my car and I'm going to be buying rims/tires soon, but I may change my choice from 17" to 18" just b/c I think 17"s look little...
Does anyone have any pics of lower profile tires than 215 pics w/ a 17" rim (possibly lowered)? Does anyone have 18"s w/ lowered suspension pics? Thanks!

I've got about a 1.5" drop so I just don't want anything to rub. Also, it really depends on the wheel, my buddy just bought 18" Enkei ZR2s and they look a lot bigger than they really are b/c of where the spokes end. Is there a huge difference between 40 & 45 series tires? I like the low profile look but I really don't want an uncomfortable ride. Thanks everyone for your help!

Triscuit Nope, my car isnt lowered yet. The drop should be fine. I think it was about 2 inch gap. You should be fine, depending the offset. it shouldnt rub. I'm happy with the 40 series tires. Although my next tires I'll be goin wider 235
