Anybody have any pictures of this setup? I did a search and found pictures without the kit but none with it. Also, what would the equivalent 16" tire but to the stock 17"?

Probably will stick with 17" wheels but I am looking at my options. I want to keep the handling and do like the look. I understand the 16" keeps that with a slightly taller sidewall but improves ride. I ditched the RF's a good while ago. About ready for a new set of tires and also considering a new set of wheels to go along with it.

Almost forgot to add.... I am running JCW brakes and the car is not lowered by more than a 1/2" if that helps. I do not plan to lower it any further. I would never get in my driveway.

 

Compared to 205-45x17:

205-50x16 is 99.2% as tall
205-55x16 is 103% as tall
215-50x16 is 101% as tall
225-50x16 is 103% as tall

If you decide to go this way, don't forget that the JCW brakes don't fit under all 16" wheels.

Thanks for the info. I think I am going to stick with the 17" webspokes for now.

I am due for new shoes and I am looking at moving up to 215/45/17 from the 205's. From what I have read i'll get a better ride but sacrifice a little in handling. I'm ok with that as I don't track my car at all.
