A lowered stance with bigger rims will provide a somewhat lower performing suspension: for example, it will have less travel (since it rides closer to the low limit bump stops), and it will be harder to get the correct alignment (esp. camber).

Of course, taller rims do look more trendy given the state of current automotive 'fashion'. If all you're going for is looks (and that may be the case since you're starting with an n/a), getcha some skinny dubs (20") and you'll def have one dope-phat-fly, tight-kickin' hooptie. I hope you don't mind me kidding around a bit for fun here.

Good info, thx and i just thought if I went with 18 inch wheels my car will raise up and avoid as much speed bump scrapes as possible. But I guess Ill just go with 17 inch and hope for the best
