no benefit unless you set your car up properly. you will actually oversteer like mad if you dont get some suspension and soften up the rear / get some adjustable sway bars.

And for the fronts, depending on how low you go you will for sure need to flare / roll or something. not sure how to flare but you will need too for sure.

Id get a staggered setup.

yeah thats already to much for me, so 17 8/9+45 with rolled feders sound good?
