CVD you are a smart man. I am actually going to get rid of my rims and rubber. I need something just big enough to fit with the AEM big brake kit. I think 17 will work.

I had 18x8s on my DSM that were very similar to Vicious's car. They looked awesome on the 2G but were not great for speed, they handled great but I could tell it made the car slower having to turn those big things.

The bad thing about this, is that if your car is a Daily driver, even for winter, your going to need them winter wheels to fit your brakes too.
Unless you just swap tires each season.

I went for 18X8's on my 2G AWD since I found a great deal and couldn't pass it up. it does fill the wheel wells better. My Motegi rims and tires are over all lighter and the the smaller tire size worked so the speedo was still accurate. I origally was going to stick with 17's for better cornering but at my current level the differnce is probably far more in my skill than my tires.
