If you look up "perfect stance" in the dictionary, they should have a picture of your car. Beautiful.

I have 295 30 20 pilot super sports currently on 20x10.5's

When the car is raised up and the axle is hanging low, the tires almost touch the frame, like within 1/8th inch of the frame. But when its lowered down onto the ground, theres alot of clearance mabe 1.5 inch

I really am considering the pilot super sport. Do you think they are worth the money? I'm running into sizing issues with 18 inch wheels though because Michelin doesn't have wide tires with a larger side wall in the 18s. I'm currently running 295/35/zr20 Toyo Proxes 4.

Depends on your wants and needs, a DR or mabe toyo r888 may have more traction potential but less tread life etc.. The pilot super sports are expensive, atleast in the sizes i got. I think they are a good value for the performance to longevity ratio.
