   30mm, not really a lot of point doing it, lol. You arent getting the best handling really and you arent getting much more of the looks. Go for 40mm atleast in my opinion. Iv got mine about 70mm (give or take because im still not sure) at the back and 60mm at the front and have had no probs the time I have had it.

   25mm is actually supposed to be the optimum for handing.
   
   30mm will be fine 40/50mm is a good comprimise between looks and handling.
