the question is what do you think?

I think you should have bought a little wider tire

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> I think it looks good. I guess if your asking this question, you probably have deceided to lower it some more. Either way it will look good. </FONT>

The answer is I dont want to drop it any more - its aligned and the camber is done front and back. But so far everybody whos seen it with the new wheels told me to drop it more so im curious what u guys think.

if you would have bought some thicker tires it would fill in the gap, are those 40 or 45 series?

Well what did it have before those wheels? Any pics? If 195/55-15 (stock size) or 205/50-15, then yeah that's why you have more gap because 205/40-16 is nearly an inch smaller in diameter than those other tire sizes. That means the car sits about 1/2" lower overall, but you also have 1/2" more wheel gap. 205/45-16 would suit it nicely.

wtf is up with these dumb threads lately.

Function &gt; fashion. ALWAYS remember that. If the new suspension you were looking at is better then what you got now, go for it and your lucky its lower, but if your just buying new suspension just for it to look lower, you should be slapped.
