Isn't 35 a bit thin? Mine are 40 and they're pretty low-profile.

Yes, 35 is a low profile tire. The sidewall will be about 11m shorter than your tire, but he is running 18" wheels, so the circumference of his tires come out to be about 12mm more than a 215/40r17 tire. Some people like 35, others like 40. I'm one of those who like 40 on 18s and 45 on 17s, (given it's between a 215-235 tire).
