If I were to buy 17" rims, would I really need to lower my car or would I be able to keep it as is with out it looking goofy?

ehh.... I would say that with 17's you shouldn't need to lower it. However your still gona have a HUGE wheel gap. So I would lower it at least 1.5". Ive got the sportlines on mine and the ride is good.
