Contemplating slight lowering and getting fatter rubber...

[DIGItonium]

Current Setup

• Ride Height is stock.
• Wheels are 19x9.5 +40mm (with 10mm spacer), and 19x10.5 +8mm.
• Tires are Hankook 255/35 and 285/30.

I'd like some more rubber to improve power to the ground delivery with a forced induction setup, but don't want to screw up the driving dynamics. This car is daily driven (never had any track experience).

I was thinking about getting 245/40 and 285/35 tire setup, but was recommended something along the lines of 265/35 and 295/30. I'm pretty sure the front wheels are fine, but my rear wheels appear to line up with the fender. I have at least a 3 finger gap from the fender with the current tires, so this may not be an issue.

So keeping in mind daily driven force fed setup, I'm debating between TEIN or Eibach springs for slightly lower ride height (nothing too crazy). Tires will still be Hankook, but with more rubber. With this combination, the installer will also make the appropriate adjustments to improve drivability and power to ground ability.

Help please? Thanks!

[EDIT] Decided on 245/40 & 285/35 to help offset sidewall height and ~1" drop. When the time comes, I'll get the new tires, the drop, and will update this thread with new pictures after everything has settled.


Current: 255/35 & 285/30; Stock height
