Default Lowering and tire question

Hey guys I am going to order the deep dish Bullitt wheels for my 06 GT and at the same time I am putting on Sportline springs and Tokico Dspecs. My question is what will the 255/45 tires look like with this drop? Any rubbing issues? If anyone has a pic that would be greatly appreciated too.

Are you interested only in appearance or are handling and ride quality important to you? If so the severe drop of the Sportlines affects the them.

You shouldn't have any issues with the 255 tires rubbing wise, but going that low isn't going to be any sort of friend to the car's overall handling and ride. If you're just going for the low look, by all means, go for it and you shouldn't have any problems.
