after you put on the 17s, lower that car asap. youre gonna have a lot of wheel gap.

i had 17x7.5 +45 with 215/40/17 tires...no problems. link in sig will take you to some pictures

check my homepage. stock p5 with 17" wheels, no lowering. Not as clean looking as if it were lowered, but I don't think it looks bad.

nicee...black on red man, just like what i want (minus the polished lip)

doesn't look bad at all - meaning without the lowering of the car...that makes me happier

those are 7.5's? the sig says 7's - but i guess they were curbed and you got new ones huh?
