I can dig it

Obviously it would look better it you lowered it but it really does not look that bad. Nice wheels by the way.

Looks like stock height, so it isn't bad. Your car would look nice if it was dropped though.

Wheels

They look similar to the Frontier Super Charged wheels except they are 5 lug not 6.

yeah, i thought the same thing when the new frontier was released. they are 17x7 raptor racing. i wanted to get 17x8's, but 1.) they didn't offer that size and 2.)the price was right for these. i'm looking for center caps right now...the ones that shipped with them look really cheap. they've got kumho 215/45/ZR17 rubber around them and i think that i've got the tread mounted the wrong direction. i'm sure that it makes a difference in how the tires diffuse water in the rain. anybody know for sure??

Isn't 215/45 installed on a wider rim than the SE will be a little too low compared to the 205/65 15?

SE rims are 17x7, using 17x8 will make your tire sit a little lower. Using 215/45 as suppose to 225/50 will make your tire even lower. Watch out for the spedometer!

well, when i got them last summer, i bought the tires at goodyear and the guy who sold them to me is the one who recommended that size of tire to keep my speedo accurate. my 93 that i had them on was running with 15x6(6.5?) stock SE rims and had 205/65/15 tires. i naturally assumed that replacing 195/65/15 tires with the 215/45/17's was the same since the overall diameter didn't change. do i need to take into account the width as well?
