Width alone won't fill the gap more.

Instead of running a wider tire try looking at a 275/40 or 275/45. A little more rubber will also help the ride.

Yeah I was pertaining more to the look and handling a wider tire has. I think it looks better but that's me. I may get new springs if/when I get new shocks and struts...

Lmao. I'm running 275/35/20's. I don't have any of those problems around here. Speed bumps may be an issue however but only a few places come to mind that have extreme speed bumps.

Lower is better. I've run the sportlines with 275/35-20s before. It looks great, but handling is actually diminished that low, even with upgraded shocks and struts. To me, your better investment would be shocks & struts (like Strange 10-way) but I understand if you just want moar low.
