if you really like your ae82 and are going to keep it for awhile you could fit coilovers or get them made up,but i would just go 15 inch and lower it.i had 15's on my sx seca for a couple of years with 50 series tires in 195's and it was great, on the race track and street. if you really want the look of the 17's as it isnt going to do much for your handleing at all,you just get coilovers.
