try 255/35 20s... that should be a good size with those wheels.
You can also use the attached to help out. Big thing is to try to keep the
same over all tire size so speedo will not be affected.

I suggest going with 245X35X20 in the front and if you want to stagger it putting 275X30X20in the rear so you can have more tire on the road in your rear wheels. That will give you a nice ride IMO. Also I say go with the Toyo-Proxes TR-1's, they ride real nice.

BTT... After thinking(probably too much about it) does it make a difference if I am lower than 2". I am running TEIN S-Tech coils and it looks as if it drops it a lilttle more than 2".

Take a look at this pic of my ride with the 1.5 springs and the 20's. I would see why you couldnt go another .5 or so. You may just have to be careful with the offset. Look at the fender space. I could be wrong but I know others who have installed 2" springs, I just dont know any feedback on the handling or performance.

Thanks Stowe, the car looks great, that looks like about the wheel gap Im looking for, maybe slightly less with a little more sidewall. You say thats a 1.5" drop.. so maybe a 2" with a little more sidewall would be perfect. Do you know if they had any trouble putting on the 295s without rubbing or bulging?
