Neff,
On behalf of the board I would like to say, take a step back, breath and don't overanalyze things so much. Get the springs with the ride, wheel gap and spring characteristics you like and then adjust the over/understeer with the adjustable swaybars. It's just that simple!

The new wheels will have different widths, a different staggar, different rolling diameter, and different offsets. All of these characters will also effect your above parameters.
If you aren't a suspension designer and you don't work on or drive for a race team, may I suggest staying as close to stock numbers as possible?

[QUOTE=neffster]Remember, transfering roll stiffness DRASTICALLY effects understeer or oversteer.
Very good thoughts!! It's amazing how much your ride/steering changes with springs and sways. Again, a good reason for adjustable.
