The thing is, I want 17's with the tyre tucked just inside the arch.
Nice car btw 
Re: Lowering Buisness
Coilovers, on there lowest setting should do the trick ......
I still need to get the front a tad lower. . The rears just need pushing out another 5mm ....
but I'm still very happy with how this looks on 17's
.
Best of luck

Re: Lowering Buisness
I wouldn't go too low if you value the handling and ride quality as it can get very crashy over potholes. I'd go for around 20-30mm drop, the Eibach Pro spring kit would be my choice.

Mine is currently on Tein S-Tech springs
& Bilstein dampers, but these will be getting swapped soon for a set of Eibach Pro Springs to raise the ride height by 10mm and give a little more suspension travel. On a decent road it is very well planted and the handling is suberb but over poor road surfaces it does rattle your eyeballs
