How long can I go with 17" wheels? I was thinking of a 2.3" drop? What do you think?

all depends what the 17's are going on.. my buddies 17 look great but if he corners to hard and tight, they hit the fender wall..

also depends on the size/profile of the tire used

um... is nobody thinking of offset? ...

you can go as low as you want, but it will rub.
my 16's dont rub at all with 2.5" lowering on toms coils

I think 17's would "look" great with a drop that low. But, you'll need camber kits because your alignment will be messed (worn out tires), the ride will be pretty stiff because of the low profile tires (40 series), the tires will rub on tight corners and over bumps, you'll blow your stock shocks in no time and some 17" wheels and tires are pretty heavy and add rolling resistance.

I had 17's with a 1.75" drop and I had some of those problems. Do it right the first time. Do your suspension first. You can get wheels once your suspension is setup correctly. Buy everything you need and have it installed all at once to save yourself a headache later. If you just want a "slammed" look and don't care about anything else, buy some cheap coilovers and call it a day.

Thanks Mike, thats what I was exactly planning on to do. I was reading up on the Omni-Power coilovers from John Lo and looks to be real good. I may go with a set of those a just buy the front and rear camber kits and I'm set to go.

Do what you want...Keep it stock looking or slam it to the ground...I've seen a eg on 2004 TL rims (18' i think) and he was just about on the floor..its about what you want!

'04 TL rims are 17... (well stock anyways unless you upgrade)
