Anyone have pictures of 17" rims sitting on stock suspension? Also can you post tire size, etc...

Thanks!

it's not a very pretty picture...




or you could look at any stock 97-99 GSX they had 17's factory

i dont remember the size, but they are 17's. if you really need it i can go to the garage and see, their under a tarp until summer haha.

It doesn't sit that high anymore.

Thanks for the pics guys! I am just looking to see all of my options or removing the wheel gap.... I am trying not to lower it because of the body kit and I live in CT (crappppy ass roads). I am leaning towards keeping the stock 16's and lowering... but the kit is already pretty low without suspension mods.... oh the decisions.

lol yeah gl with that

I read your post again. I have 215/45/17.

New ride height:

If like the 16's wheels look at my avatar pic.

sorry I forgot the tire size, 235/45/17 stock EVO 8 rims and tires, the fit is awesome!

Before the drop. Stock tires, 215/50/17.

going to a larger rim has nothing to do with the wheel gap.. (unless you get the wrong size tires)
The wheel gap will be the same.

the outside diameter of the 16 vs 17" tires should be identical. Its just with the 17's there is less sidewall.

+1 quite correct. if you want less gap bwtween the tire and the fender without lowering you need to either go with massively oversized tires that will totally throw off your speedometer/odometer/gas mileage, or do some body sculpting to bring the fenders closer to the tires.

That's kinda what I figures, but I wasn't sure... Thanks guys! I am sure this post will at the least help other people with my question.

See my sig pic. 17's on stock suspension.. not sure on tire size.

Those tire sizes must be at least 50 or higher? It looks like the wheel gap is a little smaller.

Terrible quality, but, you get the picture.

Im running 215/50/17 or 235/45/17 just depends on which I find on sale when I need them.

dsmmyth - Those are 17's?
