What you trying to achieve? Just make it look better or tighten the suspension up so it drives like a race car and rides like a brick? As a young bloke I wasted lots of Sundays welding up the exhaust on my lowered cars when I moved to dungersville I found my 1 inch lowered commodore scrapped on most driveways I visited.
Get some nice rims and low profile tyres first then lower it a little but not too much lots of roads aren't flat like race tracks

Why not just go to Bob Jane's and have a look at there 25 sets of alloys and choose the ones you like? Ask them to show you some Pirelliis that will work on your chosen wheels.

How long you plan on keeping the car I don't like spending money on cars unless I really want something Im too old and tight to recommend anything I only replied to give you the thought of don't go to low and waste money I' d look on fuckheadbook or gumtree for rims and buy the best rubber I could afford Don't buy 2nd hand tyres.
