Suspension / Lowering Question.....
Will lowering with stock 17" look ridiculous?
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,

I have about a 1.5" drop on 17" stock sport rims on a W210 and it looks much better than it did without the drop. IMO, the tire/fender gap that came out of the factory was almost suited to a rock crawler.
