i got the 20s on it right now. the drop and ride are awesome, just what i wanted. i'm about to put the oem 17s on the for winter. in another thread someone was asking what the thickest wall a tire could have on a 17" rim. someone said 245/45/17... now does that make the car ride softer since there's more tire?

More tire is always going to be less harsh of a ride.

not for 17". I thought you are in the market for the rim.

I have the Veilside bodykit on my GS400 and don't want my tires to rub on the fenders, but I want to drop the car for looks and performance.

Would the nf210 be a good fit if I have 255/35/20 tires? Do I have to do anything extra besides having the springs installed so my tires won't rub?

Thanks in advance,
Kent
