I don't have a picture but...

You do realize, on our cars, that any rim larger than 15 inches is too big and you will loose performance. The bigger you go past 15 inches the more you loose. Just thought I'd throw that out for you. Is it a show car?

Good luck.

17's would make gearing a lot taller, but u can't take away from the look!. i could find some lightweight 16's and mount them on some 40 series and i would still be within the stock diameter, whick 16's are an option also. lightweight 16's would not effect performance that much

wow! That looks nice! If I had a turbo, I wouldn't care about having 17s.

I am runnign 17's go to my web site to check out some pics

http://phattyb13.nissanpower.com

the one things that pisses me off all the time is the fact that with my drop the wheels rub on the top of the wheel wells when Ipush hard in corners or when I have people in the back.... also watch for the offset make sure it is right.. jsut my 2 pennies.. oh and alsoe maybe get 17 x 7 I have 17 x 7.5 and I am wishing i went with a 7 instead

Yeah 16's aren't too bad, and honestly they do look pretty nice. I'd stray away 40 series though. If not, I hope you are ready for a rough ride and potholes will be a lot harder on your rims.

205x50x15's for me. (daily driver)

Exactly. 15s tear it up!

205x40x17 for me coming when the tax refund hits. I just know I'm going to driving slower now because I'm going with the Konig Glide.

From a 13" to 17" jump is gonna be a radical difference. I have KYB struts so I'm hoping potholes wont be too bad.

why do you wish you went with 17x7 instead of 17x7.5. I am looking a the 5zigen pro n1 17x7.5 wheels. Let me know what you think
