i bought these waffles on craigs , they came with 225/50/17 tires I want to know if they would be ok or if there would be a problem with the ride quality my 04 base is lowered about 1.5

There will be no problem at all, other than your speedometer being slightly off.

OP, there's 6.5% more sidewall on the 225 tires compared to the 235, so your ride quality will be more plush, but your steering feel may be dulled. When your speedo reads 60mph you will actually be going over 61. You can take that for what it's worth. It's not a huge difference and some people prefer that size. On a lowered car though, I would expect you'd want a smaller sidewall and not a larger one.
