15's or 17's the age old question

[chopshoptuner]

[MagnaniEG6]

I think it depends on what you're after. If it's strictly looks then it's 100% whatever tickles your privates... but if you're after performance at the track look no larger than a 16" wheel. You need sidewall to fine tune your handling. I had a wicked '98 GSR with all the mods done to it. Full coil overs, adjustable dampening and all the trick stuff to make it handle. Then in my infinite wisdom I slap on a set of 18"s. I get to the local track and the instructor just smiles... I had to ask. He schooled me. He tells me all that suspension work and parts ($$$) was a waste if I couldn't "tune it" with air pressure. My 18"s had no sidewall, therefore I couldn't drop/increase air pressure to take advantage of the suspension. Look at the big ass sidewalls on F1, Cart, Indy and Nascar cars.

17" would be the best

[TOLUCO]

I had a car's 17 but started to have problems that do not get off. It looked very well but is an extra expense.
The problems I had with the camgear of direction.
He told me that because of these wheels have high

Drifting's a different story. You want less traction in the back, so lower profile, even stretched tires go on the backs to break the tail out easier.

I like the look of 17-18's, and since I'm never taking the cb on the track I went with 17's. A 1.25" drop would look better with 18's imo.

[MugenCb7LX]

i got 2 1/2 inch drop on 215 35/r18 no rub and i want 2 go lower

that looks so tight. but u should mayb get some clear corners

[Cown3d]

15 or 16
unless you have a 5lug and can rock some baller works or CCW's
then go 18

Jees... What food tastes best? Do what you want. There's haters everywhere.

[xpressive]

I think 17's are a great balance of performance and style.. imo..
