I didn't lower mine and 19"'s look lost under the arches, 235/35 rub on the rear, so arches need rolling for a lowered car. Or stick to 225/35/19's and it will be fine.
See Kojak's car on my rims in View My Scooby ! Click to enlarge...

P.S. Mine is a touch less able to absorb mid-corner bumps than on 17" wheels and standard tyres, but the actual grip is higher.
