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! Triscuit And just for fun, a poll! -------------------- 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 1974 Datsun 260Z 1997 Subaru Legacy L Wagon Kind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area. I'm always down for a meet. |

If you are going strictly for looks, 17's are WAY too small. The Celica's wheelwell is just too big. I think 19's are the best look, but you will get some rubbing if you are lowered. And those 17's in the first picture do look good, but that car is so low, the front bumper will scrape on everything.
