The sizes you said you were considering stepping up to are what I run with my Cervinis kit. Lowered with the Steeda springs I make it up my driveway with 1/4" to spare. I still have scraped the belly pan part of the front bumper on stuff a few times.
The tires really helped me with ground clearance. I'd say step up to the taller sizes. I think it looks really good too. If you choose to go with the first sizes you listed then I'd say see how it is before you lower it and make sure you can still actually drive the car.
Good luck with whichever you pick and post some pics when it's done.

Thanks guys. BTW, ya'll are ruthless on the typos...I didn't even catch that one...
I think I will step up to the taller sidewalls. I mean, the looks won't be that big of a difference (I don't think) and it seems like with these mods every little bit of clearance helps. This is a DD so I think I would be better safe than sorry.
Anyone running the smaller sidewalls with a similar setup? Any problems?

Okay Mr. Nitto Invos suck...I am pissed that you would even say that...
JK JK. Since you've made such a statement, however, I would like you to back it up now...Why do Invos suck? What do you recommend in the price range that is offered in the same sizes?

UPDATE: Looking into Steeda Sport Springs right now. I know nothing about them but I like their stance. Just figured I would add this to the equation of lowering and sidewalls. Also, are Steeda Sport Springs a good choice?
