it's not a very pretty picture...
or you could look at any stock 97-99 GSX they had 17's factory

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.

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

+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.
