lol (rubbing???) there only 17's man :P I have a 2.8" drop on my 93 with 18" wheels and i still have 1/2" of clearance in my wheelwell. and i would go with coilovers if i were you so you can adjust them. i hope you are planning on getting performance struts aswell?? because you will blow out your stock struts in a few weeks!! trust me. 17"s look small on our cars. in fact i feel my 18"s are too small, that is why i ordered 19"s and i am raising the car up about a 1/2 an inch. o and don't forget to buy a camber kit aswell other wise you totally fuck up your tires and it will look like shit because your rims will be slanted!!

I put on 18 X 8 Alessio Turbo Rims and i have a 2 1/2 drop all around and they rubbed like crazy. Rubbed so much that it was creating smoke as i drove..It sucked! because the rims looked phucken fresh yo! Reason for rub is because the rims were 18 x 8. If they were 18 x 7.5 or 7 i would have cleared the wheel wel fender and tuck smoothly. So anyway I had to put back my 17" rims..So i guess im going to look for 18 x 7.5'z..

If they do rub put on some wheel spacers also you can get a whole set with longer lug bolts.
