235/45/17 Wheel Gap question

I just ordered Falken Ziex ZE 512's in 235/45/17. I am running this on my stock 17" rims and Maxspeed springs. Will this make my wheel gap look bigger? The difference in diameter is only .4". Does this make a HUGE difference?

It'll be a bit noticable, but only to you.

I agree, you're going to be the only one who notices a difference.

The reason it'll be hard to notice is that .4" will be evenly split. .2" more wheel gap and .2" lower to the ground.

I'm actually replacing my 235/45/17 with 225/50/17 right now which will have the opposite effect or raising the car a tad.
