Default Why does your car look jacked up when you put 17" wheels with non-sport suspension.
Is it an optical illusion or does it really prop up your car?

Thanx

Default cant give any technical details.. but you CANT do that!
Your speedo would read wrong, the suspension might not be able to handle it, wheel well not big enough, no one makes "bigger" tyres etc etc etc...
