I don't think I could go lower. Having the 275/40s take up more of the wheel well is almost more worth to me than a stiffer sidewall. Plus the 275/40s are most likely going to be a) less expensive and b) more available than a 285/35. Hmm I'll have to think about it.
What suspension do you have? I lowered my car on P springs and had a ***** of a time going over speed bumps and what not until I swapped the Tokico's for Koni yellows, that made a world of difference.

Steeda Boss 302 specific springs, Koni Yellows, J&M LCAs and PHB, new stock strut mounts. I have a BMR adjustable UCA, Steeda G-Trac Brace and MM CC plates too, but didn't see the need for them at the moment. I'm probably going to sell the CC plates and UCA, since if I change anything, I'm going to get coilovers haha. Then go Steeda on the rest, UCA, billet LCAs, Watts Link.

My 275's are great in the rain. No issues with hydroplane.
