205 40 17 . Maybe a 45 profile might look better.

Which Calibra were they off, or did you buy new?

Got the springs new from ebay. Think ive been done. These were the second set after the first set I got from the same supplier actually made it even higher. Years ago I had a calibra lowered on spax kit 40mm with 17s and it looked great. So im disappointed with these. Guess the moral of the story is I shouldn't have been a tight *** ,
and got a decent kit this time!
