Oh well, here's my pics even though this thread is two years old and the original poster probably bought 17" like they said they were going to. . . .

well, i have the 10mm's up there because when i removed them, there was this wierd screaching noise coming from the brake rotor/caliper area... wierd i know, never did find out what it was. but when i put the spacers back on, i never heard the sound again... been that way ever since. and i agree, even with the OTG's in the back, it still needs more.

I believe I have the same problem, I'll be doing the same soon. Which front shims are you running?

Wow, kudos on all the clean rides in this thread. Putting 16s on our cars seems like the conservative, clean and tasteful approach to improving the appearance of our boxes.

I'm still on the fence as to what wheel I want to run. I've changed my mind easily fifty times, but I know the size will be 15s or 16s. Thanks for putting a point in the 16" column for me, guys.

For those of you running 16s, how does the ride compare with 17s? How does the car handle? Do you have fewer issues with rims bending/breaking?
Thanks,
David
