I'd like to see those pictures, because I have been thinking 17 is the safe zone of where I want to go in tire size once I lower.

It's hard to judge how proportionate wheels are to the car when comparing different sized/styled wheels. A 17" B7 RS4 wheel might appear to be larger than a 17" BBS LM because the RS4's spokes go all the way to the edge of the rim whereas the LM has much shorter mesh style spokes.
Same goes for 19's...the 19" RS4 would look too large but the 19" LM would look right at home.

I'll post them when I get home today. Flickr app on my iPhone won't let me copy image locations.
