I'm considering buying some 17" rims and tires this week, upgrading from 15" 95 se wheels...but I dont think I can afford to lower my car just yet and I'm afraid of getting some bad wheel gap...Should I wait until I can afford new struts/springs at the same time or is the gap not all that bad?

How much have you guys paid for shocks/struts?

thanks

I put on 17's without lowering my car. The wheel gap doesn't look any worse than what it did with the stock setup. I'm still trying to save up to lower it. It's up to you.

every stock max with 17" or larger wheels makes the wheel gap look bigger... lower first.. then get rims..
