Default 99 civic what drop with 17s?

My g/f wants to lower her car and put 17s on it. She wants very little wheel gap but has to be able to get around her college campus so it can't be slamed. I was thinking the pro kit but you can get neuspeed sports really cheap. Also what offset would be good with a 17in wheel? If you have any pic please post them with information.

I'd also be interested in 16s.

Id go with 16 inch . I have a 99 si and had seventeens , now have sixteens and would never go back to seventeens (unless it's going to be a show car or turbo) the only thing thats nice is my car seemed to corner a little better with the bigger rims. just my .02 cents.

Thanks man, 17s just look too big. I'm going to try and talk her into 16s. What springs do you have?

17's aren't too big, a friend of mine has them on his Civic. They look really good! He dropped his car with Maxspeed coilovers. I think it's dropped about 2.5 inches, there is only about one fingers length of wheel well...

I have Maxspeed and my car rides just fine. Maybe all that *** pounding has finally taken toll on you.

17's are SLOW! Put on 15 or 16's, unless you don't care about weight.
