new 17s look smaller than stock 16s??

[cfusionpm]

i just got em today and they look awesome; i love the wheels, but it looks like theres more space around the tire than with its stock counterpart. it looks almost silly to have all that space, and... i almost want to say im dissapointed with that. i just shell out my last check for these, and i love the design, but they really look so small :-/ anything to help? little bit bigger tires (i dont know if i can exchange them), lowering? or is it really fine just as is. any opinions or sugestions would help.

The perfect solve for 2g wheel gap. 18 with 215/40's and a set of sporlines with a coil cut out all around....amtch made in heaven....ahh...mayby another 1/4 coil out of the rear would be nice.

Ewww, Sport lines and cut coils! Sounds like a crappy ride.

Anyways. For any size tire or any vehicle heres a good comparison chart. Just enter in stock tire size, and it will tell you everything..

For me im getting 235/45/17s Theyll be just slightly larger than stock, but thats as close as i can get with 235s. I might get 225s though. Havent fully decided.

they would only give me the 215/45, but it still turned out a lot nicer than the small 205/40s

i wanna drop it 1.5", but a GReddy type-s bov is next on my list

/me starts saving

the new sig is pretty much the same thing as the last one, just some PS blurs, but from a different angle with the new wheels
