If I put some 17" rims with 45 tires...will that jack the car lil much too high? (if I still have stock suspension and no lowering springs)

yeah, it will look funny, get springs first then rims.

the problem is that I need my car for winter..at least for the next one...that's why im asking that

if I lower it..I cannot put my winter tires/rims (15")

can I simply use some lower profile tires? like 40?

It would look the same with 40 series at stock height,look at my profile pics and you'll see what i mean.

Ok, i searched the forums and...........some of our own peeps are runnin 205/40/17 and 215/40/17.

Oh and use this... http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html


215/40/17 is more ideal tho. It keeps you closer to stock speedo readings.

if you lower before puttin on rims you would still be able to switch to the 15" rims in the winter. i'm lowred right now using the 14" steelies

well if you lowered with springs you still would have been fine with 15" rims.

yes i guess coilover would be beneficial to you in the snow allowing you to raise and lower your car. i got them because i wanted a maximum drop

the best coilvoers for our car are made by tein but are quite expensve (1000-2000)
the second best is Ground Controls, what I have.

DON'T GET ANY COILOVERS OF LESS QUALITY!!!
you will regret it.
