Well as i said before I ordered some Falken RT-615s in the 225/45/17 flavor.
I also picked up some Enkei 17 inch rims. The Rims were Cleared Aluminum and in bad shape. So i fixed some of the bad spots with PolyGlaze (Bondo for bare metal) and painted them. Here is a picture of one.

The Tires and Wheels will be put on the car tomorrow after work. I'll post up some pictures then, so everyone can see what kind of clearance we are talking about with these sized tires on a car dropped with S-Techs.

Edit: Tires are on and they do not rub. The front right did, but only because my fender liner was messed up. I replaced it today, and it stopped.
Notes on the look. The rims look bigger then 17s because of the design, so the wheels look pretty aggressive. Ill have to get my k24 in asap to back up the wheel/tire combo. Tires grip like crazy when dry, wet they are alright. Overall not bad, just a bit bumpy.
