It's because the suspension isn't adjusted for a 17" wheel. Whenever you put in a larger wheel, it raises the car off the ground more from the additional 2" of wheel. The only way to remedy the 4x4 look is to lower the car. This goes for any vehicle you put larger wheels onto. Not only that but there will also be some performance loss unless the wheel is lighter than the stock units. More unsprung mass=less performance.1_Sleek_Versa wrote:Not bad.

You sure you have the right tire size? The car looks "lifted"due to a huge fender gap.
Actually if you get 17 and a 45 series tire its the same height as the stock sl rim and tire combo this way it doesn't effect your speedo reading....just check my website I took pictures of the stock tire and 17's 45...but the Versa does look better lowered but maybe in the area he lives might not be practical.Red Devil wrote:

No, I know.....I was just pointing that out so that people would have a little info and help somebody out.Red Devil wrote:

45 series wouldn't be always perfect on a 17 inch tire though, depends on the width as well. Usually would be close though.versaspeed.com wrote:
