      we've got 205/40/17's

      of course they dont raise the car at all, otherwise your speedo will be out.

      dont get any scrubbing, but the car isn't lowered yet and this would also depend on the offset of the rim. these are very wide-spaced, and i think i've heard it scrub just slightly when close or on the bump-stop, but should still be fine even when lowered.

      i just thought id let you know it does raise your car when you put 205/40/17's on, i measured it before..its about .5" to 1" taller....
      ...i am running 17x7's 42 offset with 205/40/17 and h&r lowering spring with 1.5" drop with no rubbing except on the side where my fender got bent in a little from an accident....

      but i wouldnt get 17's tho, id get 16's if you can

      if you want performance tho 17's are gonna decrease your car performance.
