to fit this you'll need a 235, camber, and a fender pull, its still stock body as you can clearly see.

255/40 and 285/40 are two very different sizes, for example. 40% of 255 is less than 40% of 285, so you can go with a numerically smaller sidewall and still get the same overall height...
did that make sense? haha I know how to calculate it in my head, but to put it into words is another thing

Yes, Im lowered on coilovers. The tires fit perfect. Semi-disappointed with how sunken the front wheels sit. Im going to need 20-25mm spacers to get it flush.
I also need to get rid of that STUPID pinch weld in the front wheel wells.. I rub tire almost every bump. I took a big hammer and beat the ***** out of it, but its in a really awkward spot and hard to get at. I think im just gonna grind it off all the way!
Ill post some pics in a few minutes.

Coil overs now installed (and, of course, it will need the control arm bushings replaced but that is next time.....)
Right now the choice is 235 or 245 x35 x19 +37 front and 265 or 275 x 30 +44. Fronts will be 19x8 with staggered 19x 9.5 rear.
Please advise if the above options have any pitfalls. Thanks.

I would go for more offset. Those might look nice, but they will be pretty sunken in..
