What about the idea of not dropping the car and going with more rubber (the original question that was asked)?
I am curious as to whether you can go 275/35 and 245/40 (like the 7-series).
It will not work with the sport package, but what about nonsport?

You can, but it screws your speedo and accelleration.

How will it look though with more rubber? Will it still look good? Where can I take it to get lowered in Portland, OR?
