245/45 17 but not lowered?

I am being offered a full set of Yokohama 245/45 17 at a heavenly price. I currently have stock 225/55 17 (why am I the only person with 17 stock when everyone seems to have at least 18's??!!). The real question is, will my car look stupid with the smaller profile tires and not lowered? I really don't want to lower the car. Does anybody have a picture of sedan with 45 or 40 profile tires and not lowered?

I don't think I'd go with that tire size if I were you, lowered or not. Each sidewall is a half inch smaller, with an overall diameter one inch smaller. For me, that's too big of a difference. I understand you can get them for a good price, but 245/50 17 would be better for that width.
