Default Got My Coys Rims On

I have had these for about a month, while i was out looking for a deal on used tires. Ended up getting four 235-45 tires for $100 from firestone. They are 17 inches with 4"backspacing on the rear and 4.5" on the front. I was nervous how they would look with the white paint, but i love it. Thanks to all who got these before and helped me make the decision to buy them. Do you think I should lower the car or just keep it as it is?
Oh yeah look for the orange moon.

Looks great, but my vote would be to lower it to where there is no more than 1 inch between the tire and fender.

Very nice, of course I'm biased. Definitely lower the stance.

I love those wheels. If I did lower it, it wouldn't be much. I think it looks just fine like it is.

Thanks for all the replies. I decided I'll just lower it a bit whenever I redo the suspension. No point in doing all the work for only an inch or so.

The wife would say an inch is HUGE Seriously nice choice on the wheels, I’m glad you decide on the gray.
