Maybe people like to be able to clear ramps, speed bumps, parking lot transitions...

There are dozens of reasons NOT to drop a car. Why make a car less functional?

Not really aftermarket, but '11 WRX takeoffs (17x8, +53, Kuhmo 235/45R17) These are 45.5lbs per wheel/tire combo exactly as shown here.







LF looking down


LR looking down






They fight pretty tight to the strut up front. (aprox 3/8" clearance with current tires) Could go with a 225/45 up front and add more clearance but as long as you run a tire that doesn't bulge over the wheel you should be fine.
