Re: Maybe 17's are to big
17''s would look better but 16''s will preform better. You would probly never know the differance. I have 17''s going from my 95 Nt going from 16''s i cant really tell.

i thought if you go any bigger you just make up for it with a smaller series tire like 16 with 45 maybe 17 40 and 18 as a 35 series as an example i mean and then you wont need a camber kit right?

Re: Maybe 17's are to big
yeah looks wise 17's hands down but other than having cheap futura tires on my 16's that got no grip before i switched to my 17's id say the diference performance wise isnt majorly huge..

Re: Maybe 17's are to big
For eclipses THe wheel fenders are extra bigger then most import cars. If you ever seen a Lexus GS 400 on 20"s thats how 20"s will look on the eclipse

Re: Maybe 17's are to big
run 17s with 225/45/17s, do not go any thinnner....u need the extra rubber to keep the ride smooth and rim safe from the asphalt, plus a thinner sidewall looks pretty goofy on 17s considering our huge wheel wells if unlowered. 17s are the perfect mix between looks and performance.
