    Good deal or tooooo big?

    Found this on craigslist... want to know if this is a good deal, cuz I am about to buy 2 tires for $146, and then buy the second pair after the first pair are paid for...

    17's are big but you can do it if you lower the car just right, dont make the mistake I did and go 17's without lowering

    What is the reason to lowering it with 17's?

    Would I see a decrease in power from the oversized setup? I'm looking for something good for the track that also looks good, and I am about to wrap my 14" Mag 5 spokes with $73(EACH) tires.

    Re: Good deal or tooooo big?

    I just sold my 17s because they were too big (came with the car). Pretty much the only tire size I could run with 17s was 205/40R17. They handled great but the ride was horrible (rough like you can't believe). So I sold then and found some 15s used with 195/55R15 Falkens. When they wear out I'll get some 205/50R15s. Lots of tires available in that size, and they aren't as expensive as 17s.

    I got 195/60's on mine and it matches my speedo. 105 is easy to reach and I am afraid if I go to a 205, I will loose my acceloration (which is really nice compared to many other cars around)

    Hmm
    I just got the Rota's. I think they are 10 years old or better and they got some really bald 205's on them. The ride quality is a LOT better. 100 feels very smooth and I can get to 110 pretty easy. I think I am gonna get a pair of tires in the next week or so.

    lol! I wish I had a camera. I think they look sweet on this thing, but I have no way of showing it.

    My dad thinks the mags look better (cuz he is pro-chrome and they are more shiney than the new ones) but it looks pretty nice.
