tires
I'm pretty sure this is some where, sorry about reposting it if it is somewhere on this.
Just wanted to know if anyone did 215/40/17 on the stock rims, i know it says to use specifically 215/45/17. i know if i put 40 on it would give the wheels more of a low profile look. also lowering the car. also if anyone went lower than 40 on stocks.
does anyone have pics?
i completely forgot to mention that i am lowered on tein s-techs. 2" drop.

Why? They're just going to look funny because you're shortening the diameter of the tire while leaving the ride height the same. Sure, the ride height would lower 5mm from the sidewall difference - but you're also creating 5mm of space between the top of the car and the fender.
If you want to lower a car, lower it properly. If you want it to "look" lower - get a wider tire that then has a taller sidewall (225/45/17) and it'll fill more of that fender gap.
