Ok I want to get rims soon but I am not sure about what size. I really want 17's, I have a 2.75 inch drop...

I'm wondering if 17's will even fit.

17s should fit. your best fit is to go to a tire shop and get them to test fit the mag you want

rims: 4x100mm offset 40mm or 42mm

tires: 205/40-17

get the above and you should have no problems

wanna talk about ANY other combo for 17" and your going to be rolling the rear fenders

BTW, those tires with their high side walls are helping the struts your running deal with your ground controls by absorbing a fair amount of the impacts from bumps. The shorter the sidewall you go with, the less you'll have for that absorbtion. You are likely to get more of the rodeo effect, as the tires absorb less and transmit more to the struts and springs.

Thanks guys, the ones i am getting are4x100mm with an offset of 40mm and 205/40-17 tires so i'll be safe. As for the struts if they give me ptoblems I guess i'll get better ones, most likely tokicos.
