new alloys

[Highlander]

lo everyone, ive waited 2 feckin months for my 182, i pick it up tomorrow

The only thing that i dont really like is the alloys and ive been wondering can have 17" wheels without any adjustments being made to the car?

any help guys would be great.

I,m doing the same change and go for 205/40/17 as the outside diameter is roughly the same.

Just to join in with you guys - I dont like those 182 wheels either - they are far too harsh looking on such a nice car

You can fit 17"s without changing anything, but the car will look rather high. A set of lowering springs (e.g. Eibach) will put that right.

Would fitting a set of lower profile tyres make your car sit a wee bit lower? I have 17" wheels and lower profile tyres without lowering and my car looks fairly low. Maybe because it is two years old that the original springs have sagged a bit with age making it look lower than when it was brand new.
