17" versus 14" tires

Is this for a street car? For personal enjoyment?
If yes;
Forget about it
On the street, at the front, I can barely overdrive sticky 245s, and I can burn a pair off in a couple of weeks.
I eventually installed 235/60-14s up front, and lowered the rear tire pressures, and now I just skate around the turns with throttle, which is seriously way more fun.
