If the tires look to fat on 17" scale wheels there's a solution. Take your Dremel (or similar power tool). Attach the wheel (w/ tire on it of course) to the Dremel w/ a shortened toothpick or similar object. Then turn it on to its slowest speed (I stress this unless you want wheels shooting across the room). Gently lower the spinning wheel onto sandpaper (2000 grit should be ok) and shave down the tire. Stop occassionally to check your progress and make sure the wear is even. This will lower the profile so that they look better on your cars. You won't have the look of brand new tires anymore, but who wants that if they look like crap in the frist place? You guys probably think I'm nuts for doing this, but try it yourself on some old tires and see...
:bandit:
ps- If you do it on the high speed setting, you can get them smoking at times. Then all hell breaks loose as it ricochets off your head and into the wall.
