Suspension / Lowering Questions

Will lowering with stock 17" look ridiclous?

Still running my stock 17"s. Buying Bilstein Sports and H&R springs. I've read the W210 #1 pads are the way to go outside using no spring pads at all.

However, seems most people posting their lowered cars have larger rims (18-19")....will it look ridiculous with the stock 17"s?

If anyone has pics with this setup....posting them for a look would be appreciated.

Thanks as always,
MMM430

I have 19's but just recently put my stocks back on I have Bilstein Sports and H&R springs I will try and get a pick for you as soon as I can take one. When I got my car lowered I put the wheels on the same day so I really didn't know what it would look like but it doesn't look to bad actually. I got spacers coming for my wheels I probably throw them on with my stocks till I put my wheels back on just to see what it will look like.
