if you want 100% honesty, im sure if you lower it itll look decent at best. but with that kit its going to make your stock 17's look that much smaller and in turn look dumb

yeah you can find 19's relatively good price depending on what you want. i only speak from the area of my IS came stock with 18" x package wheels. so even lowered it still looked decent but with a kit and sunken in, it wouldve looked dumb because then the car is swallowing those 18's with a kit. so 17's, i would just look towards wheels honestly

even if you lower it, the wheels are so sunken
do the proper way, lower + wheels >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bodykit on stock height/wheels
