i was just wondering,im getting new rims size 16 with 205/45/16s and im lowered 2.5 inches.i was just wondering if my car will drop a little bit once i put these new rims on.thanks guys.

 

Yeah, if you put on bigger tires then your stock one, you'll notice a smaller gap between the fender and the wheel.

When I took off my 17"s, and put on my snow tires, I think there 14"s? The gap between the fender and the wheel increased.

Trust me, with 16"s w/ a 2.5 drop, it will look good.

The difference will be insignificant. Stock tire size is 195/55/15, and your putting on 205/45/16, which is pretty much the same size. I believe its a .01% difference or something like that. Look for a tire size calculator and put your current size in and put your new size in and compare the outer diameter size.
