Lowering is subjective, I can suggest tire sizes:

205/40 F, 225/40R, 17x7 et40 (+-2mm) offset.

my 17' BRMs replicas are 17x7 et 35 and bolt up just fine without any modifications to the stock trailing arm bolts or upper bump-stop arm. I measured the gaps with the 215/45/17 tires that were on the rear and found that a 235/40/17 will fit without rubbing.
