I'm about ready to get my new wheels and tires (ditching the steelies) and am torn between 17s or 16s. I want to see a few pics of 16s on our cars and make sure they don't look too small.
Here's my Cav on 16s
And an older one with the pre-painted wheels
Hope that helps
Here's mine. Personally I prefer the 16s. On level ground, it looks better. You don't get the 4x4 look that you get with 17s and larger on an un-lowered car. The pic is taken on a hill, so you can't really tell that in the pic, but sitting next to a J with 17s or 18s, mine looks lower.
17's and up... it should be a law

There are more on my cardomain page too. Just check my profile
Best quarter mile to date - 15.750 @ 85.82

Go with 17's, you won't regret it.

I plan on going 17's in the spring.

Next year I plan on hitting the track alot more on the weekends, so I thought 16s would be a good compromise between track performance and road corner handling of 17s. Maybe I'll go with 17s for daily driving and steelies on the weekend with drag radials.
eh, none of the above look very good (no offense), but 16's cant look good without a heavy drop.
Blew it up, build numbers coming soon

are you kidding? no offense, but it looks like i can fit my head between your rear wheel and the quarter panel. as long as you get the right size tires, the wheel gap should stay the same. the only way to get rid of wheel gap is to lower the car.
anywho, i'd say go with 17's.

My car was dropped on sprints, 1.8 front and rear. I would say thats a fairly decent drop. do you want tire tucking drop?

if you care about performance in anyway go w/ 16s...if your more for looking good keep w/ the 17s and above...and dougall...wow...thats all im going to say.
Thanks for the pics. Still undecided, though. I want good track times, but I don't want to buy one set and then decide I should've bought something else. Anybody have some track times with two differnet tire sizes. Like a before and after? Will it make that muck of a difference between 16 or 17s? If it is more than a tenth in the 1/4 my mind could be already made for me.
