I just recently installed the Tokico Blue shock/spring kit which lowered my car by 1.5". I also replaced a few control arms and replaced all of the old bushings with the New Energy suspension master bushing kit. I was running 255/60/16's and the car sounded horrible, it would scrape everywhere I went. I decided to buy some new wheels/tires from Tirerack. I decided to go with 205/55/16 Sumitomo HTRZ tires and Sport Edition wheels. I installed them and the car feels, drives, and handles like brand New!!!

Here are the pics>

Jeezus that's a wide tire to try an fit under our cars. my 235/45/17's are half a hair away from rubbing the upright but they fill up the wheel well nicely.

Good to hear that the car feels like new. I'm slowly hoarding up suspension goodies in the anticipation of getting the car running again hopefully this summer

Awesome wheels!

Those do look very nice especially with your black car. I recently put on the Tokico combo, but only the front so far. I also replaced my control arms in the front and everything felt AWESOME afterwards. Definitely made the car handle and feel much better.

Lookin' Good sKY!

Looking good, nice and clean. Just gotta get rid of that blitz bumper now ;)

Good to hear. Looks like my wheels will finally be getting some rubber this summer with the fronts wrapped in the sticky 235/45/17 advans off the evo. Just gotta pick up a pair of rear tires for it then.

You have EVO 8 wheels?

Awesome.
