just bought 17's
Alright guys i've been reading through posts for a while now and still have a few questions. I just bought a set of 17's with 205/40 17 tires. Will i have any clearance problems just bolting them on with a stock suspension? Should i be concerned with mph readings? How much, if any, have you guys noticed a decrease in mpg and initial "pull" of the car from a stoplight when switching to bigger wheels? I'm hoping that my car doesn't sit too much higher when i bolt on my new wheels, so i'm thinking of dropping it if i can find the right set up in the range of $300 to $500 for suspension. Any suggestions, answers, or opinions will be appreciated.

Re: just bought 17's
you can figure out the difference using the tire diameter which can be read from the tire readings.<P>Fitment depends on offset, not size as much.

for suspension, get Ground Control coilovers. let you set the height to what you want
