Getting rid of wheel well gap?
I have been trying to decide on which springs I want for a quite a while now. I am looking for springs that will make the wheel gap look comparable to Astroboy's shown here:

But I want to keep the stock rims.
So I am thinking that the Comptech drop is not enough since it takes 18" rims to fill the wheel well like that. Would a bigger drop (lets say the eibach pro-kit) allow me to get the same look with 17" rims?
As far as tires go, I'm thinking that I'll end up with the 235/45/17 (I think this is the size that most people are getting to replace the stock rubber.)
TIA
