Im not sure if anyone has put in 17's yet. But what would be the ideal size tires? Thanks.

I dropped the rear another .75 inches after the pics and it looks much better.

Yes. That's the widest 17" Kosei K1 TS that Tire Rack sells. 245s would give you a straighter sidewall, but my girlfriend drive my 8 every now and then so I kind of like the extra curb protection from the 255s.
