Default Anyone with a FSport drop on 17's?

I have some stock 17's and im not ready to spend some $$$ on bigger wheels but i wanted to start by just dropping the car on FSports for now. Wanted to see how it would look with 17"s

I have a 06 but with the 12 250 stocks.

F-Sport spring will have noticeable gap, and most people would not notice that you are dropped on F-Sport.

I would go 18" or higher...

I have it. Still has a noticeable gap but no complaint. My coworker has a stock 250 as well and when I park next to him you can see the subtle difference.

If you have the AWD Model, it will be a bigger difference.

Here's my old set up from fall 2009 with F-sport springs and 17 inch stocks:



That's why a few months later I went to coilovers.

Yup, I'm still riding on 17's dropped on F-Sports. I'm thinking of possibly getting 18's in the future if I can find a good deal on a non-staggered setup.
