Seems like Philly, New York, and parts of Cali are notorious for potholes!

The comfort will be worth it for you.

if you could get away with it, a 235/50r17 and 245/50r17 would give you a very near stock ride, as the taller sidewall would absorb more shock than say a 40 aspect ratio. I think you're spot on with the 235/245 setup but the sidewall will make a big difference in how it looks as far as gap, and also how it rides. a 35 or 40 will ride kinda hard, 45 will be nice, 50 will be real nice, considering the factory tires on my 16s are i think 55's maybe 60's?

good luck!

Nice wheels man. I'm curious to see what they look like mounted. If its your daily, cant beat the extra cushion and gas savings. Oh yea, your acceleration will come back too.
