So my car is lowered on Eibach springs 2.0" drop in the front and 2.5" in the rear...You really cant tell that im lowered that much cuz im running 215/40R17s. I just ordered some B&G s2 springs that are gonna slam my car even more. My question is, will that size tire look good when its slammed or do you guys think ill need to run 45s or maybe 50s?
heres a pic. look at what im dealing with, all that wheel gap :( lol

naw id probaly say a 205/45 onthose wheels because i doubt they are bigger than 8inches no need to use that kind of stretch if you arent slammed.

you need some more low asap, i mean 40's should be good in my personal opinion.

i mean yeah 40's would be great but why sacrifice ride comfort when not necessary?

Anyone who is into what we do needs to sacrifice ride comfort if they want to be legit. ;)

true that it actually would depend on hoe wide he wants to go. i dunno low pros are just hell to take off with a stretch

yeah then a 215/40 should probaly do you good then. a 45 might rub depending on how low you go
