when you say my tyre size is an odd choice , do you mean my dimensions or should i go for smaller wheels, i was thinking of going for a broader tyre like 17" 215 45, would that work better, also my concern in lowering is that the ride will be too bumpy

if you are going to stick with the 17's in any wheel selection, I would go with something different like posted above I would say looks wise and ride wise 205/45/17 would be the best tire choice, you need at least 1.5 drop a little more will look that much better, the ride is fine, go with a quality brand like Megan, Tanabe or Tein and you'll be set, the tires are going to impact the feel of your ride more than the springs will, tires are your best dampener over bumps, fit however much sidewall you can in there, you with me?

thanks for being so patient with me, i'm a bit of a newbie to pimping out cars, what i want to ask is what is sidewall and when i lower it is it just springs that i need
