Aggressive Wheels & Stretched Tires: Post 'Em Up! [[Some NSFW]]
not really, a cup kit serves ONE purpose, to lift the car to negotiate obstacles. your coilovers are still the main suspension component. bags replace coil springs there for take on all responsibilities of the the "coil."; ride-height being so infinitely adjustable makes the "spring" rate infinitely unpredictable. main performance difference between bags & cups, the ride-height is still set by the coilovers, when the cups lift, it doesn't affect spring rate.

Alright guys, as opposed to starting a new thread I figured I would go right to the experts (yes, i know about the wheels and tire thread also. better feedback here). Wheels are 20x9.5 -12 and 20x11 -1. Car is going down another 1/2" all around. What size tire we looking at? Would 225/35 and 255/35 be sufficient stretch?
here's the car as it sits right now (going lower, yes):
