Yes im running 275/30's in the rear, is it odd? Im still a newbie here guys. But I driven the car a bit more since the drop and I can honestly say im 100% happy with the drop. It was just what I wanted, nice clean mild drop. The ride is slightly stiffer but not harsh at all, it actually feels like stock but without that boat feeling at high speeds. I feel alot more confident on my occasional spirited driving with these springs on. The car should have came with these springs from the factory.

That looks perfect. I'm in the same situation, although i haven't put my springs on yet.

What was the drop on your springs from stock? I have Tanabe NF 210 springs with a 1.5 inch front and 1 inch rear drop sitting in my garage.

oh and also, when you make u-turns how bad does it rub on the inside?

The L-Tuned springs drop the car 1'inch all around... My front right tire rubs a bit when making u turns but its rubbing on the splash guard not the fender so I will look into fixing that soon.

Thanks thats the look I was going for! Its only a mild drop I know but its just what I wanted. As far as my rim choice I think everybody has thier own opinion on thier wheels. Thanks for all the positive comments.
