I'm wondering if using larger 17" wheels would be possible in conjunction with the lowered springs ? or is it a mutually exclusive deal ? I really love the lowered look but I like the big wheel sporty look better. Also, if one was to install 17" wheels on a PSE how hard is it to recalibrate my speedometer for the change in circomference ? - James

Hey James, I've got 17" Niche's on my car and it is lowered with Ground Control suspension. Without having the car lowered the gap between the wheel and the fender was quite large. With my car lowered all the way with the ground control set up I have no problems with rubbing and the tires fit quite nicely into the wheel well. I have noticed no change in my speedo either, although I have not done extensive testing with it. Kevin 95pse http://members.aol.com/drivin2fst

I just put 17"s on mine and with the low profile tires I got U can't tell a height difference between them and factory 15"s. Though it does make the space between the tire and wheel well more noticible... I don't see Y you couldn't lower it. I'm thinking about it but with where all I go my big concern is scrapping bottom and hurting something. Fred StondSmurf@...

I'm not sure as to what all is in question here, but I have a '95 base model. I am currently running with Eibach Pro-Kit springs, Tokico Illumina struts, 17" Mackin GeWalt rims wrapped in Dunlop SP Sport W-10 235/40's. I only experience a slight rubbing when turned full tilt with the car on a hill (only due to weight transfer) michael

Rim size doesn't tell us anything, what size tires are you running James. Thanks, Bryan >
