Try this; http://www.2gnt.com/dcforum/DCForumID14/1311.html It will give you a little clue. I'm on 17x7 wheels..For performance reasons, i wouldn't go any larger. Looks, go with 18's if you like big ass wheels :)

ive got some Myrtle shoot 18's on nitto tires.. 215/35/18. the rims are chrome and therefore heavy ass all get out.. im going for the look, not the lightweight.. i dont race so i am not into pulleys and carb hoods and taking the back seat out.. besides i got my iceman and when i hear that growl.. it makes me think my $hit is hauling ass.... }>

If I get 17x7 or 17x7.5 with 225/40/17 tires and put them under my Talon they wouldn't rub would they?

shit they wont rub. I got 18's and they dont rub unless i turn the wheel to the side as hard as possbile, and then its just a lil rub.

but are you lowered Nappyjim?? I think the rubbing will get a little worse when you drop it.
Im rolling on the 17x6.5 GSX rims of course:)

Im on 18's. Im lowered, no rub, looks great. Get 18's :-) Bigger is better! I actually regret not getting 19's, however crazy that may sound...

Has anyone switched between 17s and 18s?
I'm wondering because my 18s look perfect on my car but they kill me when it comes time to buy tires or when I give it some gas and I feel how much slower I am over my (talon tsi) 16s.
I'm wondering about going down to 17x8 wheels that weigh less.
What do you guys think?

I have 18's on mine. 225/40 nitto nt-555, lowered on coilovers. Not sure exactly how low but the coilovers are pretty much maxed out if that gives you an idea (so around 4in I believe). Our wheel well and the gap is so big you need 18's to really fill it up IMO. As far as being that much slower, the turbo alleviates that problem :P
