17 inch rims WITHOUT lowering....anyone have pics??

hello, I'm just wondering if anyone here has a pic of a 7th gen. with 17's on it, at stock height.
A friend is selling his rims but I don't want to mess with my suspension until my warranty is up. Is it possible to have this set-up without it looking 4X4 style....thanx

it depends on the tires. if you get 17s with a 45 or 50 wall tire it will look fine

IMO, Jayfreazy's car can still be lowered about an inch or so.. Still a nice looking ride though.

i have 215/40/17 and i could probably go rock climbing in it lol

i can show you a sideshot of mine later

having rims is better than not. Dropping with rims is also better than not.
The SUV jokes get old after a while
get the rims and later slap in an eibach pro kit.( very subtle drop.)

Mines stock height with 17"s as well. Looks fine for me, until one day I can afford a coilover kit.
