Not sure what you are asking, but if you mean if there is a tall enough side wall, yes there is. Ride is obviously going to be firmer than on your 14's but there is enough to protect against most pot holes.

Looks good, Chris. You've got some funky lug nuts there.  Can't wait for the sun to go down.

Thanks Derek. Those would be basic tuner lugs (and key), but I will change them over to special tuner lugs. I would like to get ones that have a special key to remove, like with lock nuts.
The reason for the tuner lugs, is the 4x108mm bolt pattern is the secondary pattern on this wheel. 4x100mm is that primary pattern and can accept either standard lugs or tuner lugs. The 4x108mm pattern has a narrow opening only allowing for tuner lugs.

Go with 17's, you won't regret it. I drive in a horrible area for roads and I have the SVT (heavier than regular ones) and it's just fine with Eibach's and BAT struts.
Chris, those look great. I might be considering them next year.
And those Wilwoods are BOSS!! I may be doing that, not sure yet. Did it increase the rear rotor size? Wait, the pics right here.
EDIT: Yes, they are DEFINITELY bigger.

John, those are 11.75" rears. They look small compare to the 13" fronts.

One recommendation, go with the thicker rotors. Mine are 0.81", I would say to go with the 1" thick rotors. You will see more resistance to brake fade, and won't necessarily need 13" diameter rotors.

Oh I need the thirteens. I usually run with the Porsche group.  But I see what you mean on the thickness. Did I tell you those look nice?
