    I would get the 225# springs for the rear if you're running the same sized tire on all fours. The 175# springs seem to make my mom's CV sag slightly with the turbines. With the staggered summer tires they're about even.
    I was wondering what front springs you were using cause im planning on 900s or 925s with 175s, how do you think it would work out...

      Not really, a 275/40/17 tire's minimum wheel width is 9". If the aspect ratio were higher, then it gives you more room to play with wheel width. But with lower aspect ration tires, there is not as much sidewall to flex to different width wheels.

          ok, thanks Blaze!

          gtVIC: the fronts don't look too bad, but it would look better without slight rake.

          I haven't gotten them ordered yet , something about my parents worrying about a 1200 dollar charge on their credit card, no matter how many times I tell them it will be reimbursed immediately (I have the money in the bank, I don't like that much just sitting around, plus I would have spent it by now lol)
