I've got a 2007 focus TDCi and have got 225/45/17's on the car.

Am thinking of lowering it, but am a total newb when it comes to lowering.
Its kinda tight with these tyres and rims on, no rubbing at all, but has not been lowered at all. Id say there is a couple of inces clearance at the front and back of the tyre near the archs at full lock.

Whats my options here?
