17s look good with the right tire.
My old 17x9 225/45 setup:



Current 18x9.5 225/35


It's a 17x8 wheel and I think I've been s**t on enough for my first tire choice thanks guys. Everyone makes mistakes especially the first time and I get it. Anyway how are you getting that low? It's static and what's the offset on your wheels because mine is 48 and they are still inside the fender tucked away which I don't particularly like.

Doesn't look like an 8" to me.. Mine is 48mm offset, 17 x 8. Stock suspension.






These pics are kind of dark and old.. but anyways




So that's 17x 8.. 225-45-17


Yours look like 17x7 or 17x7.5.

These (link below) are BR09, not BRO5, but same size.

Offset: 48mm
Backspacing: 6.34"
Bolt Pattern: 5-100
Rec. Tire Size: 225/45-17

Was on ****ty Racelands with my 17x9s, I've been on Fortune Auto 500s for a while now, they're maxed out. Wish they went lower in the front. Offset Is +30

As much as you've spent on multiple sets coilovers I'm pretty sure you could of had a semi decent airbag set up

I blew out my Racelands, got new ones under warranty, sold them for $350, bought used fortunes with 12k swift springs for $650, sold those coils for $650 plus the 12k swifts to their friend for another $50. Then bought my current fortunes for $1,300. So I basically made my way up and didn't lose too much in the process.

So seriously, how hard is it to find the Cobb Accessport for the 06-07 year models? Like a rare white unicorn?

I had one for a few years. Sold it a couple months ago. Believe it was actually for 05-08's.

It's pretty hard, there aren't too many floating around, but at least you have the option of using one.

By the way, if you do this to yours pick up some detail clay, works like a charm to get the last of the adhesive off...
