So... I called to order my new wheels today...

Go with the 215's and you're golden, speedo change won't even be noticeable and your ride quality will still be good

With the 17's/18's and Sportlines(paired with Yellows), you will be fine.

It will leave you with about a 1.5 finger gap, so you can leave your fenders alone.

I just looked at the function form website and I am interested in the type 1's... I got a quote today from a local shop to swap out my springs and struts... $445 @ $89 per hr x 5, lol. I figure I will save some real dough and get coilovers and install them myself.

Are the Type 1's lower on their highest setting than the h&r race? If so, they are not a good option for me.

FnF Type 1s would probably be too stiff if you're wanting ride quality. Honestly if I just wanted a moderate drop, and wanted to retain ride quality I wouldn't get Type 1s again, but I got these because they'll slam your car.

Most people seem to be pretty content with a coilover sleeve and Koni Yellows, more specifically Ground Control coilover sleeves, if you wanted to give those a little research.

edit: I couldn't tell you the highest setting on these though, as I've never raised mine. Someone might know though, but i'm pretty sure the highest setting is still a pretty decent drop.

You will be fine. I bought 17x7 and 45 offset Enkei EV5 with 225/45/17 Uniroyal Tigerpaw tires for my car, and it fits just fine.
