As far as the tire sizes, I would probably do a 245/40 and a 265/35 on that set-up. To be honest, if I had to do my own set-up over again, that is likely what I'd do. Since your wheels are 1" smaller in width, I would say that set-up would be almost perfect.

A +22 offset is moderately aggressive for our cars. So, my only concern, with a subtle drop like Eibach, is that instead of sitting flush with a little camber, the car won't be low enough to run a lot of negative camber so your tires would sit more square and poke a little. You know what I mean? Obviously, I don't know because I haven't seen it yet. However, considering the less aggressive widths you'll be running, I actually think you may be able to pull it off nicely.

I'm looking forward to seeing this...
You my friend are the man. Thanks for the big help with getting the exact look i was going for I get what you mean about the camber and im thinking that you're right about it working because of the less aggressive widths. :fingers crossed:

I had Volk GT-C's on my last car, an IS300. These are my first set of SSR's and i have to say the quality is spot on.

UPDATE:

So after thinking about Bill's concerns with the eibach springs I decided to make a change in the setup. Decided to switch to coilovers, so I purchased a set of BC Racing BR Type coilovers this morning



I have the eibach springs for sale in classified section, they are BRAND NEW never used:

Oh boy... I hope you didn't base the decision to upgrade on my concerns alone. Like I said, I think with the less aggressive wheel widths, you may have been okay with that Eibach set-up. Regardless, you will be happy upgrading from springs to coilovers. I think you made a good decision. Now you have the ability to adjust/customize your suspension to your liking.

Nice, Ant! You're going to love the coils, I regret even bothering with springs. One of the best upgrades I've done. I think sway bars top everything though.
