Bigger wheels/lowering suspension

[vanish]

Yes peeps,
Few questions (for a change!)
Eventually, I want to get some 17's on my 8v and drop it about 40-45mm but I cant afford to do both at the same time. What happens if I get the 17's first and stick em on without lowering the car? Or alternatively, what happens if I lower it without putting bigger wheels on?

I personally have the 17" wheels on mine without the suspension lowered and it looks great! Always thought those 15/16" wheels were small for the Vw Golf Mk3 The 17's do look better! Dont think I'll bother with lowering - happy with it as it is now!

Dont suppose you've got any pics in the gallery have you so I can have a look at what it would look like? Or know if anybody else has?

I'll try and get a photo of mine for you - perhaps use it as my signiture!

What make and size of tyre do u run on your 17's, wolfrace?  Cos i also want to go for bigger wheels without lowering the car.
I was thinking of either BBS RC's or superleggras, any opinions are much appreciated.
