Default Wheel & Tire Specs that fit H&R Springs

I know we have a few wheel fitment threads already, but i am looking for members that are riding on H&R springs to give their suggestions and thoughts on the best wheel and tire sizes. I appreciate any help that is offered. I am trying to avoid playing the guessing game fitting wheels at this height. I have no plans on going with bags or coils. The springs are enough for me, just looking for suggestions.

I'm lowered on H&R sport springs and I love the drop. Here in about 3 weeks I'm going to buy wheels for my car. Im doing 20x8.5 et38 tires will be 245/30/20. I'll let you know how my ride is. I know they'll fit and I probably rub on dips just slightly

20's!!!!!???? Yea man definitely report back and let me know. I agree though, the drop on these springs is great especially for a DD. I'm looking to go 19s just trying to avoid fitment and rubbing issues if at all possible.

I'm on Eibach springs, and I'm running 19x8.5 +35 all around with 235/35/19 and 255/35/19, no rubbing issues at all. No fender/bumper tab mods.

I'm lowered on H&R and 19 inch wheels. 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. Unfortunately I do not know what the offsets are. Its very close to flush though. Rubber is 225/35 front and 245/35 rear. I have about half a finger gap in front and 1 finger in the back. Not rubbing at full turn but I do scrape the front wheel well a tiny when hitting little bumps or cornering really hard.

Thanks for the input guys. I really want to get some new feet for the summer. The 18's are cool, but 19's seem to look amazing on our car.

20x8.5
20x10


Rub on hard dips with passenger, full turns

Wore through both loners even after reshaping them with heatgun.

Stick with a 19"

Give me about two or three weeks and I'll keep you updated with pictures. I love the drop. It's going to suck though during the winter when we get snow lol. Keep us posted whenever you get your wheels.

I'm lowered on H&R springs and my wheel set up is 20x8.5 offset 38. Tires are 245/30/20. I slightly rub only when turning right. It's only when taking off. It's the tab that everyone has talked about. It's not bad at all.
