Default how far can I lower on these rims and tires(do not flame)

I just bought a set of 17inch 5zigen wheels for my 92 hb. they are 17*7.5 with 225/35/17's on them. I'm not used to this big of a wheel. all I'm lookin for is 2inchs at the max.

i dont think 2 inch would work dude maybe 1 inch 1.5. but 2 is way to much for rims and tires that big. and if u dont mind me asking why get rims so big for such a small car? 15s would have done u good

Heres an easy way, get your coilovers and adjust them till the tires dont rub and how long the shocks last depends on what shocks you get.

I have 17's with a +40 offset wrapped in 205/40/17 and my car is lowered 3 inches in the rear and 2.75 in the front. I had to pull out my front fenders and roll my rears, but no scrubing now.

When I was @ 2 inches front and rear with no mods to the fenders I didn't scrub @ all.
