17" wheels w/45s on stock 04 Rex

My main question is whether or not it'll look alright until I can afford to put coilovers on there. If it's going to look like a monster truck, I'll do the coilovers first (I'm damn near sold on the Zero 2Rs, but I still want to find someone who has Zeals and talk to them). If I need to, I suppose I can run 40s, but that's not a lot of tire...

Anyone running 17's on an 04 with no suspension work done? Does it look alright?

I have an '03 and i ran on some 225/45-17's for a few weeks before i got my springs. It didnt look that bad, but looked way better when i lowered the car.

chris, a lower profile tire (40) would actually exaggerate the gap. i think it looks fine. i wouldn't do it but it doesn't look horrible. =p check out subydude.com they have all kinds of lowered and nonlowered subes on rotas. 18's would definitely look like bigfoot.

I had 18" with 225 40's on them on my 04. The front looks like it needs to be lowered but the back isn't bad. Of course the car looks like it needs to be lowered with the stock wheels in my opinion.
