It depends what you're trying to achieve. You can lower a car on standard wheels and tyres easily enough, it'll just look like a heavily-loaded car though! I think most people who lower them are trying to achieve a certain "look" - for which you'd need "big boots" too. Whether it's a sensible thing to do, is a different question though. There are plenty of downsides to doing it, but some people like it. Whatever you do though, tell your insurer!
