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.

My recommendation would be to use 215/40 to keep stock diameter (keep stock handling qualities) or 205/50 for a softer ride.

Remember you can always run staggered tires if you're looking for grip, as well. Wider tread and shorter sidewall on front, and the equivalent tire with less tread and more sidewall on the rear. Staggered tires don't let you rotate them though, so I would just go 215/40/17 if you want to keep stock handling. You'll lose ride quality but there's pain in beauty, always. wink.gif
