Ryans right, it would look too "chunky"

Im running a 235/30/20 up front with the Velgens and I have full turning radius and its only a slight stretch. I used to have 275/30/20 in the rear but switched to a 255/30/20 because I wanted more of a stretch

Thanx for the compliment...I'm running 225/30 +32 offset and 255/30 +33 offset. I'm pretty stretched all around

the question would be, How low are you going to go?
If your going to be just on lowering springs , you can run the 245-30-20 / 275-30-20
If you like to go low /slammed, than you should run 225 / 235-30-20 and 255-30-20.
Here's a few pictures so you can see the difference.

235-30-20 / 255-30-20 Very Low Look.



245-30-20 / 275-30-20 Thicker tire look




Remember , if you go to low you wil have to shave the fender tabs in the front.

Hope this works for you.

I am going to be running BC Coils and I want it lowered but I dont want it slammed as I live in the midwest (for now) where we get all 4 seasons and will have to adjust the height for snow and will throw my oem tires back on during this time. I am honestly going for the lowered look but want no more then a finger or two fender gap. The picture below is kinda the drop I want except I wont put the rear that low. The rear will have similar gap to front maybe a tad bit less. Ive heard horrific stories on stretching tires so i want to stretch as little as possible but also dont want that "chucky" tire look. Heard from Howey Industries Velgen is in the process of coming out with 19" wheels with same widths. May consider this route? dont want to rub or have to shave or mess with the whole fender lining tabs etc.

Sorry for being picky and indecisive to everyone in this post. Just looking for that perfect look that I have in my mind lol
