If you can please post some pics at stock height.

I'm considering the same set up except going with 11R
I know there will be some gap at stock height and even with mild drop

but that's fine with me.I'm still deciding on springs or coils

I'd go with the 205/40's personally. Depending on your drop, the 45's might give you rubbing issues (but again, that depends how low you're going). With where I currently sit on BuddyClub's I'll be making the switch to 205/40's from my 215's to get rid of the rubbing issues I'm having.

If you're not going very low, then the 195/45's would be the better choice, since it's closer to the OEM specs.

Yes what he said ^^ lol either way 195 40 are a good choice depending on your offset anything above +38 you shouldn't run into rubbing issues

how low you think could go with the 195/45/17 with out issues? and since no one even carries this size i might lean towards the 205/40/17

if thats the case, i need to review brands to see which is a better buy and better quality...

Why buy such expensive wheels in such safe fitments? I mean, I know their not going to be CCW expensive, but if you are going to spend so much why not buy something fits at least a little more aggressively...
