Height difference (can you guys post pics?)
Ok guys, i've done my searching but I think I'm better getting a straight forward answer from you guys maybe that'll help me a little bit.
I currently have the shine kit installed in my FC and it's pretty damn low already in ride height. However, I've already ordered 17's wheels for my car and I want to know how it would look seeing that i'm still riding on 15's right now.
Also, if possible, my main purpose of this posting is to see if someone has pics of their car with 225/45/17 tires not lowered and someone with the same settings lowered with EIBACH Pro-line springs.
Can you also specify how far off the ground your car is? Cuz seeing that i live in queens, it's very hard for me to pull into my driveway. and my from bumper is about 4.5" off the ground. Just want to get an idea how much higher will the 17's raise me and would i want to drop it back down. My drive height is perfect right now b/c i can make it up most driveways perfectly. Thanks for your help guys.

use a tire calculator is figure out the miniscule difference between the tire you use now and a 225/45/17.

i dunno why i bothered telling you you really should search before you ask a question you can easily answer yourself

well, like i said, i know the difference in size. but theory and practice is two different situation. i want someone to actually post a pic of their car so i can have a better idea of how the car looks now.
i've gotten a lot of different info in regarding to the sizes already but i actually am more interested in the ride height. cuz in the end, i've spent money on things i didn't need because i thought it's going to be one thing then when it comes down to it, it's another issue. that's why did this post. I've done my searching already and most ppl's posthing doesn't exactly include their height setting. I mean, there was this posting where everyone post their offset on their rims and i still didn't know what to do b/c i don't kno what setting their suspension is at.
Sry if you think this posting is pointless, but i just want to see before i make a further decision.
