17" with no drop

how would 17" wheels with no drop look like?
anyone has this setting?


if i use 215/45/17 then how much can i drop?
what about with 215/40/17?
i dont want too low since i never want to give my car a chance of risk


i heard that 215/45/17 will be best at comfy with 17" wheels..
is it better than stock 15" setting? or just as similar? or better?


i dont wanna be lower than this..

If you go to 215/45/17, it's going to be a little bit harsher than with your 15s because there is less of a cushion (tire) to support you. I think your ride height raises like a millimeter with that size, too, over stock 15s. I live in Illinois and I drive in Missouri a lot, we have the worst roads in the nation, so to be safe from potholes, I went with 45. I think it looks better, too (especially if you're not dropped right away.)
