Opinions/Advice on this setup...

Drag DR-33's

Size: 17X7.54-100/10842GB
Width: 7.5"
Bolt Patern: 4x100
Width7.5″


Would this setup work w/ Swift springs as far as rubbing?

Would 17"s make my car sit too high and look like a monster truck?

Do black rims on crystal black pearl look wierd?

Here's my baby as she sits now w/o springs (Swifts to be installed this week)





Thanks!

Depends on what tire size you will use with those wheels. If you use what is recommended for that size (205/45R17) then you may experience some rubbing once lowered due to a combination of the wheel's offset (+42 mm in this case), wheel width, tire width and the tire's outer diameter which would likely cause the rear tire to rub on the bumper tabs. That is a fairly easy fix though; either shave the tabs down, cut them off completely and zip-tie/screw the bumper on at a new location, or just let it rub till it doesn't any more.

I'd wait for a GE owner or two to chime in with their thoughts on this though before making any official decisions just yet.
