Default I need Wheels & Springs NOW!! Which springs?

Alright guys, I have been searching around for awhile and I have narrowed it down to what I am wanting. I am driving a 2008 Lexus GS460

I am looking to do this set up...

If I lower the car a bit will this set up work?? I do not want my tires stretched..

Vossen VVS 086
20 X 9 F 245/35/20 +38
20 X 10.5 R 275/30/20 +45

I am looking to lower the car to take up some of the wheel gap, but I do not want to deal with major rubbing or having to roll the fenders(because i am selling the car eventually)

What is the best lowering springs to go with? I notice some people say run the Tanabe's but which ones??

I am ready to order tonight so I need some peoples opinions.


Below is the set up I am wanting to run. I notice he is running Ebach kit but regrets it. what do you guys think?



Thanks in advance

That drop is fine, it's around 1". But the only other options for spring is a nearly 2" drop, with the Tanabe DF210. It's not cheap but coil overs are very good option.
