I finally ditched the stock 17's. I picked up a set of Ruff Racing 277s in hyperblack. 18x8.5 et20 fronts and 18x9.5 et20 rears. I have 255/40s up front and 275/40s in the rear. Here are some before and after pics and a comparison of the stock 235/50/17s to the 275/40/18s.

 

40s?
meh....

 

not feeling them at all

 

so the correct size tire for the rim is a problem for you?

 

nice looks much better with new wheels
