I Picked up a set of TC rims for ultra cheap to go on my 95 gt. I want to lower it with an eibach kit and was wondering a few things: spacers(sizes), tires(size), and shock choice.

I've read that 225/45/17 are recommended. Is that at stock ride height or would that work lowered too?

38mm spacer for rear brings it to 7mm. That too far? Should I get the 25mm? I like hellaflush style, but not necissary.
And 15mm for front? Im not sure. Getting rear fenders rolled, I gathered that much.

Lastly, what shock is recommended to use with the lowering springs?

I appreciate all help and input. Thank you.

225/45/17 with +45 offset on 17x7 wheels won't rub.

You can actually measure how much space you have left at the fender with a tape measure... you should do that. Measure from the tire to different places in the fender (from the highest point of the fender towards the front of the car on the rears, and backwards on the fronts.

It'll be close to the strut on the inside though wont it?
