Tein-S Tech/Tokico Illumina w/ sawblades?

How does the drop with the Tein S-Techs, and Tokico Illuminas look with the stock 96 sawblade rims and 215/60/15 tires? does it get rid of the 4x4 look and the fist-and-a-half wheel gap, or does it need 16's or 17's to look good?
I really want the suspension, but don't want new rims.
(I was looking for a pic, but just couldn't find one)

Any help/opinion/pic is really appreciated.

i have the exact setup at the moment, here are some pics.

defenitely gets rid of the 4x4 look and really improves the appearence of the car even with the stock sawblades.

Wow man that does look good. I never thought it would look this good even with the sawblades. I'm def keeping them for a while with that kind of drop.

How much of a drop? 2.2" front and 1.8" rear, right?

How is the handling compared to stock? Big improvement?

it is a 2.2 in front and 1.8 in the back, and the handling has improved a lot over stock, not as much body roll and good steering feel, the ride isn't the best tho, even tho i have the shocks set at 2 front and back.
