17s Without Drop
Does anyone have any pics of a Civic on 215/50/17 or 215/45/17 wheels at the stock height?

my rides section might have some pix of that. its not as bad as some might tell you. but i honestly suggest dropping the car first, and then adding the rims.

I see, I guess I'll have to go with 215/45/17s then. It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would, looks to be about the same as the stock wheel gap. Thanks!

well, check mine, 215/45/17, the gap is actaully smaller than when it is factory...

also, IS300 use 215/45/17 and the body height is similar to our car..

I don't see any problem with that...

if you use 215/35/ 17 then it will be a different story
