Lightbulb 215/35/17

Anyone tried 215/35/17 pirelli p zero neros, I am currently running 215/40/17. I like the look of smaller sidewalls and should flex less when pushing on, I know it will put the speedo out a bit and be a bugger to fit and a bit harsher over the bumps but are there any other reasons why I can't use 35 profile instead of 40? Clearence with the back arches will be less of a problem on a smaller profile aswell.
They are going for about £105 each with vat and del....

your speed will be out as the rolling diameter will change.

Don't be daft. 215/40x17 is the better size for lots of reasons (most of which you've quoted). And the Pirellis are not the best.
