Just got my White Motegi racing 17in RT-5 rims and Kumho 711 205/40/17 tires on today and here they are:











The store I ordered them from said they wouldn't fit but my friend had them in 16in chrome and they fit fine so I got White.

They make the RT-5 in 16 but maybe not in white. To get rid of the gap I think you have to lower the car 1.5in. Someone had pics on here of their car lowered with 17in wheels.

Default Can anybody help plz....

That would look good. I would go with a 1.5" drop to take care of that gap and paint the calipers as well. I would paint them red.

sooner or later I will paint the calipers probably red, but the lowering... probably not because the roads here are crap. I have to go down the PA turnpike 3 times a week and they have speedbumps on it every 15 feet. They are repaving it but that will take forever.
