Default Need help on lowering springs

I am interested in lowering my 2007 is350 x-sport. I am having a hard time deciding what springs to go with. I just ordered Work T1S Varianza 19x8.5 (Front) and 19x10 (Rear). I really want to lower my car with TeinS lowering springs but I don't want to RUB, roll my fenders or shave fenders. What tire size would I need so it wouldn't RUB using TeinS? If there is nothing I can do than I will just go with F-sport or Eibach pro kit but I rather use TeinS.

Thanks,

Just get coilovers so you can tune it to exactly how you like it

with the TeinS you will be fine. Run a 275/30 "or" 265/35...either tire will work in the rear and will not rub. 275/35 puts you back to OEM specs but you would have to roll rear fenders.....

front just use 235/35-19 and you are fine. I have the same rims and tire size in the front with no rub. I am +33 front and +38 rear....if you are this or less then you are good. If you have a more aggresive offset then you need more stretch in those tires.

Then it is settled I am going to with TeinS lowering springs with 275/30/19 (rear) and 235/35/19 (front)

What is a good place to order the springs? I have check a few places and they are asking for like $300-$320.
