Tires and gears

I was just thinking the other day... Now, I use my car as a daily driver, but I hate always scraping on stuff with my front valance. So I was thinking... What if I put bigger wheels/tires on it. say, 255/65 R 17 or something to that effect - give it like an extra 1/2 - 1 inch on ground clearance - I really doubt I would actually do this, but it has intrigued me... with the bigger tires, maybe throw some 3.73's in the back, so maybe I have instead of the 26" dia stock size, like 28 or 29" dia, with 3.73 (or something) gears. Would it be possible to get the right gear fer my speedo? HOw F8cked up would it be? Any critisism is welcome, as I just though of it, and it kinda humored me (yet, doesnt seem like a *bad* idea)!! :lala:
