Default Fitment issues?
97 LS, Tanabe sport springs, 20x9.5 ET40 235/30/20 or would I be better of with an 8.5 ET35 with either a 225 or 235/30? I'd rather not roll or trim the fenders.
Thanks in advance

all those tires are too small.

you need to run a 35 series tire, 245/35-20 is the correct size since you have no need to stretch.

225/35 if you really want to run the 8.5s

neither of those setups will fit the front without a roll if the car has been lowered at all.

the rears will be fine either way.

I'm a lil confused about what you said in your last reply. Are you saying I'll have frt fender clearance issues with both the 8.5 ET35 225/35 and the 9.5 ET40 245/35?
