Whats the rim specs (width/offsets)?

Those tires match, however are more likely to rub.....for sure when lowered.

You will rub in front on full turns and rear when you have passengers.

In my opinion...brand doesn't really matter. Just how low do you want to go? Tanabe DF210 is the lowest drop at about 2' (which is what i have on my AWD) and the other is around 1" Tanabe NF210.

Just be warned....the lower you go, the more your car will vibrate (especially during colder weather).

Yes springs will work

Coil overs from RWD won't.

Is the part number TNF112 correct for NF210? I only see the NF210 listed for RWD from the suppliers on eBay.

245/30/20 - Front
285/25/20 or 295/25/20 - Rear

Those are the sizes that are within spec.
