Wheel/Tire advice?
I just had Eibach/Tokico setup installed (purchased here; including mechanic) and love the ride and look.
But the rear looks a little high (open fender well). I have 17' rims and mid profile tires. Can I go a higher (conventional profile) tire or to 18/19" rims with new tires for the rear?
Any knowledgeable advice appreciated.

putting on some larger diameter (overall, meaning the very edge of the tire, not just the rim diameter) will get rid a little bit of the gap but your car will sit higher so it will still look like a 4x4.
Your options are to either get lower springs or to do it right and get coilovers. That way, you can lower it as low as you need (within reason of course).
The other option are not good (heat/cut your springs)
