Yeah it would look a fair bit lower.

Go the EF/EL ones. They are the high spec stockies :P

Am I the only one who thinks mags on front and stockies on rear look terrible?

Sure, down the track they're fine but on the streets?

Not sure if it's what you meant, but you wont scrap more on stockies, unless you run ~10psi of pressure in them or less. The rolling diameter should be the same, (assuming correct tyre profile), be it 17" or 14", it will just LOOK lower ;)

What a stupid thread to begin with. Yeah sure go put some 'stockies' on and do some burnouts, big deal.

How bout you do these burnouts and post some pics for us, now that would be worth starting a thread over !!!

true, i had to get my rims repaired and had two stockies on the back, and although it looked lower, i measured before and after and there was no difference.

Hey guys, i was going to put an air freshner in my car, where should i put it?

Get one of those one's that hang from your mirror with the dragon on a chain and then you will look like a real soccer mum... j/k there ok... They don't look like a air freshener....
