Yea i had to take my rims off because they were rubbing against the joint in the rear where the back bumper connects to the quarter panel... It started to eat into the rubber... I had to shell out another 200 or so to get some faulkens that have less of a lip on the side so that it'll clear it, but i'm stick with 225/45/17's... I got them to work had it not been for the stupid bumper connector...

Hey Guys 205/40/17 are the best your going to do if your car is lowered. I have enkei 17" 205/40/17 Kumhos. with the Tein Super damper kit

Once you've ran meaty 225s it's hard to go back to skinny 205s. The ladies love the girth :P

i love the 225's.. it's just that i rub a bit in back because of the bumper mount, but i'm getting a pair of falkens for the back which have less of a "protruding" side wall...

I have 215/45ZR17 on my RA now, and it fits perfectly... The wheel offset is 42....so it doesn't rub or anything...(on stock suspension).

Look:





The wheels are Velox VX6R, 17" x 7" (14.5 lbs ea... ).

Ciao

14lbs is a really good weight, i think i'd rather go for 40's like 215/40/17's. i was thinking of getting 18's like something like 225/35/18's but i'm not sure it's gonna work unless i roll the fenders which i'm not sure how to do or if i want done, so i may just stick with the 17's
