No great updates as of yet... actually have had a lot of troubles recently.

I sold my stock wheels to fund for new tires. The tire shop scratched one rim badly, and they reimbursed me for it. Come to also find out that the rims did not have enough catalyst/hardener in the mix, so the paint was still soft after months of fresh paint on them. The rim shop realized their mistake and was going to repaint them. They say it will take a week to do it. I call back a week and a half later and they have to redo the entire job because "they can't get the paint to stick". They should be done by the end of this week.

I also decided to run 205/45/17 and 215/35/17 rather than 205/40 and 215/40. The 40 wall tires just did not look good on my car, in my opinion due to the fact that I am not slammed. I test fitted 45 wall tires before I took the rims back and I liked that much better. The tires are Falken Ziex ZE 512.

It sucks how everything has happened but in the long run it was for the best.

Yeah my buddies were staggered and ran 205's all around.

Any updates? I just got a set of 17x8 style 32's (an upgrade from my 15" 32's) and want to see what kind of project I have ahead of me =-)

i would go 195 and 205 like the car above.

I just don't want that much stretch at the moment.

[Zic]

yeah but remember that he is still on springs. so too much stretch and a "high" car will look awfull.

[motocaddy]

Yeah I think I'm sticking with 205 and 215...

go with the first setup pleaaaaaas, going with such big tires on those wheels, will mean a lot of fender pulling, that equals uglyness if not done right.
205 and 215. do eeet.
oh and love the wheels, this should be really good once done. if you go with 205 and 215

195/40 and 205/40 on mine. Fronts need zero work for mega lows, rears will need a slight fettle thats all.

Just so you know

205's all around was perfect on my buddies coupe sporting style 32's
Your car looks real clean, hope you invest in some coilovers eventually to get your stance dialed cause those wheels have awesome fitment

Were your buddy's 32's staggered? I don't really want to run a square setup on staggered wheels, I'd rather not have less meat on the rears. Coilovers will come one day, just not for a while. I've got other things I need to invest my money in first, pertaining to my car and other things not car related.

My hub centric rings came in the other day, going to order some wheel locks tonight, and hope to have tires this week or next. Rolling the fenders this week or next, also. I'm either going with 205/40 & 215/40 or 215/40 & 225/40.
