If you're talking to me...Yes they are 215/45/17. The coilovers run a little hard but that is fine with me. I still have plenty of adjustment in both front and rear but I've gotta do some trimming before I go lower.

Thanks guys!
I need to pull the dremel out and do some trimming. My plan is to lower it just a bit more and put 5mm spacers on each corner. I just need to find the time.
215/45/17 seem to work fine if you don't go too low and don't want to do any trimming. Oh, by the way my wheel size is 17" +45 with 215/45/17. I get a little bit of rubbing on hard dips and bumps if there is more than me +1 in the car.
BTW, dosomething that CR/B looks good.

Longboard
Yeah! Sold my TechnoMagnesio Light wheels for about $850, and bought this Crown Spoke from a friend of mine for about $460. They just had 800miles.
The Crown Spoke have clearance enough for the TCE/Wilwood #1.
So, as soon as I can get another rims, I will use these for track days, and the new ones for everyday use.

I posted on this thread before when I was running a set of Megan coilovers. I thought I'd should repost now that I've been running on Cross Coilover's for quite awhile now ! With the Megan's I was able to drop 1.3 inches at best but, it meant that the locking collars were slammed on top of each other and I had zero room to adjust. The Megans really weren't designed to be dropped more than an inch. The Cross system allows me to drop two and a half inches and still have a ton of room to adjust further if I wanted too ! (I don't ) LOL ! Right now I'm right at a 2 inch drop and (for me) it's the perfect drop !




Here's a couple of shots of the car sitting on my other wheels (16" Konig Feathers).
