Default Lowered SC's and snow tires....

Those of you that will be driving your SC this winter, what sidewall would be ideal for SC lowerered on Espelirs? I think 60 sidewall would probably rub? correct me if I am wrong.

A n/a SC300 is not that special of a car for me to park it in the garage and get a POS beater. Anyone else have info about the sidewall.

I just put the winter wheels (stock) on my soarer last week which is also lowered with espelir springs. I have no troubles whatsoever with 225/55/16, no rubbing, full turn radius, etc. I'm even tucking tire on the front lol. Car is awesome in the winter, very predictable and controllable. I actually look forward to driving it in bad conditions, mind you my car has lsd, not sure about north american sc's. Hope that helps!
