The ride appears to still be factory height, but it's a bit difficult to tell in those pictures. Photoshopping won't really give you that much better of an idea of how it will look just due to the size, angle and basically, lack of change it will actually make. You will have more wheel gap in the wheel wells, which will not improve the look...IMO.

I wouldnt do it just because I think any car looks cleaner and all around better if all the rims and tires are the same size. I just like the front and rear having the same look. But its all opinion based so id do whatever you like GOOD LUCK
