I have the same 17" stock rims and love them too. Remember, at stock height, you have 4" clearance. Now consider the local pot holes and curbs to say nothing of the 'sleeping policeman' speed humps and you are somewhat limited in where you can now drive. Unless you are in a area of the country where the roads are smooth and driveway gradients are low, I would give a lot of thought before I lowered it any more. Here in the northeast I have seen some potholes 8"+ deep so lowering for me is out. Also some of the roadkill that you may not be able to avoid is more than 4" high (Big Raccoons and Woodchucks).
