Default New Rims, Susp, Exhaust, Lip Kit NEED HELP wheel size

These are pics new today (no sun, but you get the idea) Below these pics are some other looks I had. I am still proud of the vinyl because I would have never known how ugly it would be until I put it on my car. Please look at the questions below regarding wheel size, drop, and tire size. Thank you for your help




OLD PICS



Seeing these new rims and tires pictured for the first time makes them look so small to me. I had 18" TE37's and a huge drop (unsure, old apc coil overs had been on the car for like 8 years, prob 3" or more)

I have a 2" drop now front and bakc on new springs and shocks w/ 17's and 40 series tires. There is still a lot of fender gap that I would like to close.

Seems like with the reasonable drop of 2" instead of the huge drop that these rims in 18" would look perfect. I would only put 18's back on with 40 series tires, 35 is too small.

Do these 17's look small to anyone else? Opinions about going to 18's in the same rims with 40 series tires? Or just get 45 series tires with the 17's to close up the gap?
