I lowered my car with Eibach Sportlines, and I have 17" MR7's with 215/45/17
but I love the way the lower profile looks....
so my question is...

if I switch to a 35 series tire am I creating myself a headache, ??? is this a realistic thing to do ???

maybe a 215/35/17 (if I could find it) would be ideal for the way I want it to look...
is the ride gonna suck major, would i need to get more then just springs installed...

Whats the lowest profile tire on a 7thGen you know about and do they like it ???

Um...why would you want to do that? The more meat you can get on your tires the better!

Plus 35 on 17s would look super dinky sized...You want to fill up that wheel well. And it would ride like ****!

If you like rubber band tires, get some 18s or 19s. I wouldn't reccomend any smaller than a 215/40/17 or 205/45/17. 205/40/17 is prolly the lowest you should go, but that gives you a bigger wheel gap.

for a 35 series tire, you'd need 18's. your tires are perfect for your drop, and if you want to get 205/40/17 tires, you might have to lower your car even more because you will have a huge gap

Okay, on your current 215/45 combo...the 215's have a sidewall height of ~3.8 inches

If you went to 215/35-17's the sidewall height would be only ~3 inches

8/10th of an inch is your difference
When you go outside and look at your car, imagine what it would look like with 8/10" more gap (when that much of the sidewall is gone from the TOP of the tire) and when it is 8/10" closer to the ground (when that much of the sidewall is gone from the BOTTOM of the tire)

If you went to 205/40-17, use 1/2 inch for the difference above ^


Since your suspension is not height adjustable, the 35's (especially!) would give your car an odd looking stance -- low to the ground with a big wheelwell gap

i don't think you can buy 17" tires at 35 profile. i've never seen them before.
