there is very little difference in size of stock rim/tire vs 17s with 205/40 tires.

There is not supposed to be a difference. If there was it would throw off your speedo alot. The thing aveosam is trying to say is that it makes the car look like it is lifted, not that it actually lifts it. Look at the white car, personally I think those rims do not look good on there. Too little tire, to thin spokes, to much area to see right through the rim and too much fender gap.

The black car also has wheel gap that you can stick a fist in. You will almost always need lowering springs when you get rims to make it look complete but with a taller sidewall, it hides it better.

Here are my votes

You want something with wider spokes so it does not make your brakes look tiny. I personally like the slipstreams in gold. Gold rims on a black car is sex.

I don't know why but that picture was taken with a nice SLR camera but im not sure if the settings or whatever were right because it even looks strange to me. Either way it really fills up a little more of that front gap, bu doesn't lift it, if your running stock height, 17" is def. the way to go.

that was my point, shoulda said so i guess lol. and pic was of course for reference.

have any of you guys actually measure the ride height difference between stock and 17's. its def noticable....if you compare two aveos next to one another, one with stock height stock rims to stock height and 17's you will see a difference....the main reason i said 16's or 15's is because you can lower the car (which the aveo needs) without having the harsh ride of 17's and lowering springs. trust me it doesnt sound when you driving along and hit a bump and it sounds like your shocks and struts are going to pop thru the towers...04aveohb, do you have lowering springs or are you riding stock height one 17's? if you are doing the latter then you don't know what I am talking about....just consider my advice but its really your decision

i have 17s right now on 205/40/17s and the drive be honest feels the same if not better than my tiny ass 15's. I am going to lower my car in a month or so and i really dont think it will make a huge difference. A pot hole or bump that is going to make things rough is going to be very noticable and if you can see that coming and you fly over it then your just a dumb driver and need to pay attention.
