Pics of my car cleaned up on stock wheels with H&R spacers and Tein CS coilovers.....
I am running 20mm H&R spacers in the rear and 15mm H&R up front. They work and fit beautifully. These are the best spacers ever. I am also running 255/40/18 and 225/40/18 Nitto Invos, these are inexpensive, but they ride great being smooth and quiet and they grip like glue. I would compare these with the Michelin PS2 with a less road feel. They are not on the same level but better than anything else I have tried except for the PS2s and that is a lot.
I may lower the front another 1/16 to 1/8 inch which equates to 1/2 to 1 full turn on the coilovers. It rides great and looks pretty smooth. I wish I could have used the Work Varianzas I just sold, but I am on a budget lately.
Sorry about the pics they were taken with my iPhone:
Side shot
Left Rear Corner
Another Side Shot
Rear Again
neighbors cool truck
and I must have forgotten to get some close ups of the front, but they are not quiet as flush as the rear to eliminate rubbing.

Drop looks great with the spacers. Too bad about the T1S's. They are beautiful wheels that would have looked great on your car.
I'm curious, have you driven on PS2's before? I have, and I've also driven on BFG T/A KDW2 and Toyo T1R's. Ive gotta say, the PS2's are an amazing tire. The T1R's are great too but they don't grab right away but after they do, theyre very comparable. The KDW2's were awesome looking tires that were real grippy. I'm loving my current tire, the REO960 AS Pole Position tires, also very comparable to the PS2's

Yes I have used PS2s they are hands down the best street tire out there. I have also used BFG KDW a good tire as well. I have used the Goodyear F1s I think those suck. My Nittos cost a fraction of what all of those do and they a a damn good tire. They are very quiet and smooth and provide amazing dry traction. In the wet is wear they lack the slip and slide in the wet. But I live in the desert so I don't care.

NO in vegas they don't care. They have bigger things to worry about. However sometimes the bike cop "expletative, expletative, expletative" will give you a ticket if you are a smart *** to them. I have a Valentine 1 though so I seldom get pulled over.

No they aren't painted, my car wash guy just cleans in there real well with the pressure washer when he does my car. Thanks for the compliments. I wish I could have fit 20mm spacers all around like you letz250, but the Nittos I got are fatter than the OEM tires so I have to run 15mm. In hindsight I probably should have gone with some Bridgestone Pole Positions, but I am quite happy with my new Nitto Invos, they are cheap, ride very very smooth, are very quiet, and grip very well.

If you can get some pics of the front wheels that would be great!

Yes. I still have a smidge of rub in the rear because these Nittos are just bigger than OEMs. Not all tires are the same size even if their numbers say they are. BFG and Nitto are notrious for being meatier with equal sizing specs.
Just ask Letz250 he has not problems with 20mm all around and he is lowered on stock tires.
