Keep in mid to achieve these looks your going to have to keep note of your wheel bearings and hubs.. That takes a lot of stress on the joints and can easily snap..
Just my 02 cents

In the winter I cannot.
New springs may change this... may not.
I have a feeling that 17x8/9 +35 with 215/45 will give me trouble.
Why is that? Thats the route im going with...now im nervous LOL

wouldn't he height be too far off with 215/45 and 215/40? or do you mean all around.Quote:

yeah I meant all around lol. Then you could really slam the rear as well, few extra mmQuote:

Actually, let's clarify. Due to geometry, the angle of the sidewall (or "stretch") is very similar between 205/45 and 215/40.
i can go lock to lock... but my fenders are pulled about an inch dude to my drive back from TO with 4 people in the car.... lol
Cool i didnt know that. although would a 40 not get you more low? as well as make it easier to rape wheels lolQuote:

The profile (sidewall height) is very similar between the two as well, because of what the numbers mean. 205 or 215 is the width in mm, while 45 or 40 is the sidewall height in % of the width. So 205/45 has a similar height to 215/40.Quote:
