Here's a few pointers:

It's too low
The wheels are too big
The tyres are too thin

The result of which:

You'll feel every imperfection in the road (you could drive over a Rizla
and feel it)
It'll handle like a puppy on rollerskates (especially in the wet)
You'll go through bearings / CV joints / suspension bushes like there's
no tomorrow... which will only accentuate the above.
