You should delete the body molding going down the side of your car. It would look much cleaner

No not the side skirt. The body molding in the middle of the door, fender, and quarter panel.

Also, leave the lugs as-is. The chrome lug nuts make a great offset in color to the wheels you have. Trust me, I was going to use red lug nuts on the wheels I'm getting soon, and I had a friend proficient in PS do a mock-up for me. Wheels looked sick, but not with red accents

I put the chrome ones back on for now. The front tires are way too small and the back tires are bald, was fun driving it like that though...lol....what you guys think is a good size with 17's"? I like the wheel wells filled out, no skinnies...lol

Car is looking sick! I agree with DDR chrome lugs look good with the wheels.
275's look good on 17's and fill the back pretty well. That's what I had on my camaro (275/40/17)

It would also depend on the width of the rim, no? If the rims are 9.5, I'd say don't go any higher than ~260 just to be safe. Wouldn't want tires popping off the rims, now would you? For 17", ~260 or so in the back and 245 in the front should look A-OK

The back ones are 245/45's, fronts are 235/40, waaaayyyy too small. I'll measure the rim width and see if I can get 265/40's (or 255/40) in the back and the 245/45's in the front. It's tough trying to figure out equal sidewall height when the width is different...
