Size of rims?
Offset of rims?
Desired outcome (low and sick with a ride like a skateboard or marginal comfort)?
Any other mods to wheel wells and lips?
Drop is 2" front and back?

Well, with a 7" rim, you are really limited. The lowest profile is see working and available is about a 215/35-17...however, that's gonna be 10% smaller and result in a good hit on gas mileage. It will also look iffy front and rear vs. the wheel well opening. With a 2" drop, you've already go clearance issues, that's why I wouldn't upsize in width. People go to 225/45 with minimal problems, but that's a normal ride height. Also, most of the 225/35-17 tires spec at least a 7.5" rim.
Honestly, I would expect ride comfort to be poor with stock tire/rims and a 2" drop...further lowering to a 40 or 35 profile would make it rock hard. Also, since a 7" rim is the minimum for tires that low priofile, expect the tires to take damage easily from potholes and such.
You didn't mention offset, so I assume your rims are the stock TSX offset (55mm).
