question 06' coupe:lowering on 20's here/input needed

ok heres my situation...I have an 06 coupe and i just put on the data replica from klumyzeee on my sport bumper. in order to get it to fit properly at the wheel wells i had to let the lip fit a bit lower then it should be, for a snug fit...it was the only option. i like the way it looks and its relatively low to the ground. so it is somewhat a PITA...now i want to put 20's on...Question is:
Should i get the tein 350Z H-techs w. the 20's? or will that spell disaster for my lip? I just want to close up the wheel well gap and make it look sweet. I don't need it SLAMMED to the floor...otherwise i'd be doomed here in NY. Thanks guys for any advice and input as to what i should do.
-Chris

big ugly....when u say 350Z springs, do you mean the H techs or stock Z springs. Looking good though man. I will post pics as soon as I can. So you can get an idea of where the lip is at.

depends how low do you want to go.. you can drop it a bit more because 20s raises the car up a little so 350z h-techs would look very agressive while the g35 h-techs will give you a mild look

If you run the correct tire sizes, 20's shouldn't raise the car up any
