hey all -
I've put some 17" rims on the car and am not that happy with the increased ride height. Running 205/50 17's on the front and 255/40 17's on the rear - sorry no pix as she is up on jackstands <again> at the moment.... There have been some others who have posted up pix with the taller 17" rims, what are you all doing to get the car back down on her lines? The rear height adjustment is pretty straightforward, but the front needs adjustable height options = $$$$ what's the current line of thinking here? can you post some pix of your cars as they sit? thx td |

I seem to recall reading a long time ago that the stock tire diameter when inflated was about 25 inches. Pretty much what I've had on my car for a long time.
