16s vs 17s

I believe the pics go in 17/16/16/17

I've also been contemplating this... I've looked that the " official " 16 & 17's wheel threads. To me it seems on 16's you can run a nice big 45/50 series tire depending on width. On 17's anything over 45 series sidewall looks wierd, 40's seem perfect to me. 16's with a finger gap looks good and you can also go lower, which brings your car even lower.... on 17's you'll HAVE to lower the car but it wont be lower than how low you can get on 16's without tucking rim..


I have been wondering if anyone has run either sizes.. which handles better/ drives better. I'm thinking 16's are the answer to that but I really like 17's lol

This is stock height. Can't get a picture right now cause I'm not at my garage. But think of the fenders right at the tires. But my car can also get lower than that

Post a picture of your car so we can get a better idea..

Not incredibly low. I have 15s right now and I'm just tucking a little bit of tire. I would put up a pic but she's on jack stands right now. But I can get really low

How low? You need to be really low to pull off 17s

Which do you prefer? Debating between the two sizes. The car is lowered if that changes your opinion. If anyone has any comparison shots I would greatly appreciate that as well. Thanks guys!
