to keep the overall diameter of the wheel/tire same as stock

So, what did you decide on?

The ones in my sig are Nitto 555s in 255/35/20 and 275/35/20. My current ones are the Falken 452s in 255/35/20 and 285/30/20.

Both of these tires look really good, and they both perform very well. I think I like the Falken tires more, but that may just be because they are new!

Cant really see them, but here is a picture I took yesterday of my car. I can post a picture of the tread when I get home today.

I am lowered with H&R Race springs (1.5" F and 1.4" R) and I have Koni Yellow dampers. Maybe you could do a 1" drop with Steeda springs or something of that nature. With any spring change (especially race springs due to their stiffness) I would highly recommend that you change out the dampers as well to match the springs. It makes for much better ride. Also, the pictures that I found of my tires didn't have a good view of the tread. I'll take a better one when I get home.
