What is the best size of tire to put on 17 and also 18 inch rims so that it would looks good and not rub or anything on a stock hieght car , would it throw off the speedometer??

also , incase i wanted to upgrade my suspension , what is the smallest drop possible ? like 1 inch or even half ... and if so , then what tire size should be used ?

Will do,

Still have the 225/35/18 tyres (Toyo Proxes) but after 9000 miles the thread is gone ,stupid 3S-GTE eating up all of the thread biggrin.gif:D. Anyhow, wil make pictures from the side before and after the new tyres are on. The 225/40/18 will go to the back first because otherwise it will look even more funny with bigger front then rear tyres.

Then it will be another 5k miles before the front tyres are worn down I think.
