Default Lifted up? Or down low?

Guys,

I'm gonna get the 17" Konig Uknown rims for my 2000 Mitusbishi Eclipse RS. Also with Kumho low pro, performance tires. Will the size of the rim lift my car, or drop it? or actually leave it where it is, because the low pro tires will even out the up=size on my rim.?

Chris

do you think 17" is a good size for those rims? I want them to stand out, but i don't want 20" bling bling junk you know? My car is black so I thought that chrome and black look would be cool. do you think thats a good size rim setup?

Stay as close to the stock TOTAL diameter as possible or you speedo will be off, being either too fast or too slow. So, you don't just go off of what size you think will be cool. Make sure that if you go with a larger than stock rim (which you are), get lower profile tires. Not to mention how important the aftermarket offset can be.
Use this... Tire Calculator and plug in what you want and what the stock size is or just plug in the general car info.

Do you think you can send me your pics of your 18's again, maybe through an email, because they are not showing up, just x's
