17" with no drom

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..

17s without a drop does look like crap! With a lower profile tire, you end up with a HUGE fender gap and that's just not very pretty. I would know, I did wheels before dropped my car.

From that pic you attached, he's dropped at least 2 inches.

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
with 215/45/17 tires, you should get a 1.4" to 1.75" drop

with 205/40/17 tires, get a 2" to 2.25" drop

I have 17s with stock ride height.
The only reason why it's not lowered is cuz I have some issues I have to deal with $$ wise.
Ha: cuz I don't want some cheapass springs and am saving up for the best.
Anyways, it is a totally stupid question to ask if 17s look okay with stock height. hahahahhahaha
