I just have feel questions for you guys that have non-SVT with 17" rims...

I know the SVTs have special sport suspension and stuff and they adapt to 17" rims easily... how about non-SVTs ??

If you had a 15" stock wheel and now have a 17" please let me know how your ride feels now...

If you have pictures that would be very helpful too....

Thanks !!

I'm not 100% on this but I was pretty certain that the v-6 se and the SVT share the exact same suspension components and that the SVT isn't any lower than an SE, it just has the lower front and rear bumper. From what I've seen up here, plenty of people running 17's and even 18's on all models without issues as long as you plus size them

I have 17" Cougar Zn wheels with 215 / 50R -17 Firestone Firehawks on a 99 SE. I can e-mail you a picture if you need to see it... handles much better.... ride is a little bit harsher, but not to the point of kidney belts.
