          Whats your suspension set up? Because I used n4sm to compare your set up to my current one and my fronts poke out a lot. With your set up, mine will retract by only 8mm which doesnt seem like its enough.

              For those with a late model, what tire set up for 16x8.5 ET 20 in the REAR w/o rubbing? Car is on supersport H&R springs w/ rolled fenders. Apparently 225/45 rub so was thinking 215/45?

                    That helps a lot actually, thank you. Might just run 215/40 to be safe based on the wheel fitment sticky on here

                      I tossed my 16s back on for winter and holy crap I always forget how much better they ride than the 17s.

                          16's have always been best. Compromotive?

                            Yessir, compomotive.

                            After daily-ing the 16s more I agree that they are a far superior ride but the 17" comp TH's look a million times better than the 16" comp TH's. It's not even in the same ballpark.
