I have 20x9 and 20x10.5 on Megan coils and rear camber arms. Tires are 225/30/20 and 255/30/20 Hancook Ventus V12. Rolled rear quarters and trimmed some metal inside the wheel well. You're fender liner will get chewed up. No biggie! I don't know about the ride quality on 30 series and slammed. I'm happy with my ride and I'm LOW!

To maintain the OEM ride quality, look into Tein H-tech springs. About an 1in drop and keeps your stockish ride quality.

If you don't desire to be too low, a 1" drop would be fine with that setup? What Vossen wheels did you get?

Youll say im crazy but i got 2 sets. VVSCV1 And VVS083, I couldnt choose between those 2 so i got them Both. Right now my car is sitting on the 083. Mike what kind of suspension would you recommend me for the 1 inch drop. Should i get coilovers or just lowering spings? Btw this is my car.

That's crazy! You got two sets of Vossens cuz you couldn't decide? Baller status! Most people sell one set of rims so they can afford another.
