yes. i got 18's and didn't need one for the front but i did for the rear. just make sure you get an allignment so you know what you need.

Yea I thought so. I am putting on 17's and 205 40 17 tires before I do the drop. that will be ok without a camber kit right?

on a 2 inch drop you're going to need a camber kit no matter what. i was lucky, my front wasn't off too bad and they adjusted it. but my back was like john's - 3 degree's. so i had to do something about it. once you get it alligned you'll know what you need.

I understand now. How low is your car?

i did a 2-2.5 inch drop on sprint springs. i don't know how much it really lowered it b/c i didn't do a before and after measurement. but the chin spoiler gives it a lower look as well but the actual drop was around 2.25-2.5 i think.

Well the tire is gonna look very skinny, and you gona have a big gap, you better go for 225/40/17 or 215/45/17... but not 205...

damn I just ordered my tires and I got 205 40 17 but I also am not sure the exact size ofthe rims but I do know that they came off a Avenger and they are 17's. but the tire that is on them (seasonals) are 215 50 17 and they look HUGE. I have a 94 grand am GT for my winter rat and the 17s next to my 16's are HUGE and seem like they would slow down my grand am and I know the RS has 14s and I want skinny tire so that I don't take away any of the speed from having my tires to big.

recomended size for 17's is 235/45/17, thats what I got and its just about perfect.

do u think that I will have any problems with the tires other than look???? I just plan on using em for this april through september.
