I would like to get some 17's but i am running hooker 3 inch pipe, not much room underneath as is seems like car has ALOT of wheel gap, don't know if 17's would look good with out lowering it. pics would be great!

 

Using 17" wheels with 245/45/17 tires without lowering the car.

 

it will look fine. Here is my car. I have 17x9 ROH RT wheels and no lowering done yet. There are more pics here

 

wheel picture.

 

I have the hooker 3", Eibach sportline springs (lowest you can go) and 17x9's and no rubbing whats so ever. My exhaust doesn't scrape either. The only thing that rubs are my relocation brackets in the rear but there are made of plate steel so no biggy.
