stick with 17's and its not hard to drive lowered just go slow over bumpy lookin stuf and go at angle on driveways and speed bumps you soon will figure out what you can go through or can not.

 

I agree you will get the hang of it and feel much comfortable. I didn't feel comfortable when i first drove a stick shift esp stopping and going up a hill but now i drive it like nothing.

Yeah stick with 17" dont go too big on rims.
