Default 19's to 17's

Well, I finally sold my 19's and ordered my black Bullitt's from Ford Racing, the new wheels are 17x8 all around, I hate deep dish, my only question is will the new wheels lower, or raise, or keep my car the same height?

the 17's may lower it a little more, figure out the height of the tires by reading the size #'s. a 275-40-17 mean the tire is 275 mm wide, and the side wall is 40 percent of the 275 on a 17" rim

what about the 19 inch tire size. the 245/45 /17 is a 26.1 inch tire.
