My OEM 17's tuck nicely with no rubbing.

I dont pay that close of attention to my tires sizes, but I have my stock 16's with sportline drop and I havent rubbed yet. It has been lowered for about two months too, so I dont think it is gonna rub

Good call. 55-series is the stock size. the 60-series would be over 3/4" larger in diameter.

Az7: Was that a typo or do you really have 205/60-16?

Ok, yeah, 55 is stock, and I think 60 would rub. like I said, my stock 55 doesnt rub, but it is close. It is tucked up very well, but i think the 60 would cause some problems

so are the 60's stock? Is the tire size maybe different from the 3i to the 3s?
