Default show me some 20's with sport springs

Well last week was my 2yr anniversary with my g/f and she has decided to buy me some 20's. I am going to go with the foose nitrous rims in black. I also would like to throw on my steeda sport springs at the same time.

My dilemma is on what size tire to get and what offset to go with. I want to keep as much meat on the sidewall as I can without any rubbing and am unsure about what size that is. Any help with what I can get away with will be much appreciated.

My next problem is the offset. I am not sure exactly what it means but should I go with 8.5 or 10.0 all the way around? It would be nice to get the same size tire all the way around so I can rotate them and extend the life of the tire, but I don't feel that that will be the deciding factor.

Also if anyone had pictures of their car lowered with steeda sport springs and 20's I would greatly greatly appreciate it. Please include the size of your tire with your picture.

Thanks for the replies in advance.

P.S. Do I need to get camber bolts when I have them installed?

Is there any that are a less radical drop? Like a middle of the road option?

Heres mine with the Eibach Pro-kit. 275/35 rear, 255/35 fronts. Wheels are 20x10 rear and I believe 20x8.5 in the front.

Man all your cars look great! I'm thinking about getting some 20X9 shelby razors for my v6. Would I have an issues with rubbing etc... Could I lower it just like you guys with gts have done?

Not to thread highjack but to answer your question yes you can I run 20X9 razors w/nitto 265/35/20 all the way around and had it slammed with H&R coilovers 2" in front&2" in back no rubbing issues except at maximum steering lock at slow speeds the front would rub a little on the inner fender liner. Now that the coilovers are off and I have roush leveling springs on the back no rubbing issues period just an fyi
edit that is on my 2010 on my 2006 I ran 20X8.5 ruff racing wheels with toyo 245/35/20 totally slammed with H&R coilovers front&back no rubbing issues at all I think the 2010s have a different inner fender liner which contributes to the rub
