The sidewall will be an inch shorter, and since the wheel is the same size its going to look pretty odd. Usually you only step the sidewall down if you are going with a larger diameter.
if you increase the wheel diameter then lower sidewalls will look good, but if you have the same size wheels, its just going to leave more open space in the wheel wells and look like a car you would see in my local Mexican-American (maybe) populated neighborhood.
i get a little bit of rubbing with koni kit and my rkII's on my 99 9-3 vert. i use 225-45-17 some have stated no rubbing and some have. depends on the tires and i think the reason mine rub (fuzion zri) are because of the curb protector style. it sticks out little more and so im looking for a decently priced summer tire with a flush mount no curb protector really. the tires im looking into maybe trying to get in near future after i can sell all the tires i have now are sumitomo HTR Z III. but anyways, i would not go lower than a 40 sidewall. i say no to 35. 40 or 45
