New wheels?

Hey guys just a quick question,

I've got a totally standard f reg 325i sport that pretty much spends its whole life in my garage. But I am thinking it needs some new wheels for the rare occasions she comes out!

I'm fancying to 17inch wheels similar style to the original bbs with a bit more of a dish, if I get some 17s am I going to need to lower it as well as I don't really fancy the e30 looking like 4x4, or do they look ok in standard sus?

Cheers

Largely accepted that 17's are too large a diameter for the standard shell, the M3 in DTM guise would use 18's but for general use and standard suspension 16's are the way. You don't want to go past 16", or lower the suspension too much or the handling will deteriorate. Much discussion on this..
