Eibach or tanabe springs?
 
Need your opinions? I am putting on my 20" Maya rims this weekend. 20x10 with 43 offset/ 275-30-20 and 20x9 (not sure of offset) with 245-35-20.

I am planning on lowering it with springs the same time i mount on the wheels. Any suggestions or opinions on which springs i should use? I see that most are using Tanabe, but i heard Eibach are also good? Also, am i purchasing the correct tire size? I am going for a clean and stock ride.

Thanks,

how low do you want to go? if you want just a mild drop like me, then tanabe nf210 should fit the bill. any lower, i would recommend getting coilovers; the ride can get fairly stiff (ie: harsh) when you go with springs that are lower than the nf210.

Maybe an inch or two gap. I'm more concerned about a fender rub and smooth ride then how low the drop is. I initially wanted coil overs, but will settle for springs.

Do you think 245-35-20 will rub up front?

i'm no wheel expert, you'll need to ask rominl or one of the other guys. but for the time being try this wheel calculator, it's fairly accurate and should give you an idea.
