okay, i have 17" ADR concept rims, tokico 1.5" drop and tokico illuminas. I am wondering what tire is the best size that wont rub and that will fill up the gap between the fender and the wheel. I want the closest fit without rubbing. Side wall size etc would be great to know. I am a complete newb when it comes to tires.

Some pics with your lowered car with 17" rims and 1.5 drop would be great. THanks.

What is the width and offset of the wheels?
