Going to purchase springs & wheel/tire combo.

I have an 06 coupe with the 19's on it now but I'm going to get some new wheels, tires, and some springs. I've decided on the 20x9 and 20x10'' Axis Shine and Eibach pro kit springs. Is this going to make a good combo? Also, what size tires should I get?

It's a fine combo.

Need to know your offsets for tire sizes, but I'd put money on mediocre offsets and say 235/255 right now. You could go 255/275 if you really wanted some meat. - With your offsets, I can tell you how much more you can push them out to get a decent fitment too.

An inch drop is always iffy if you'll get your rear camber back in spec. Hope you invest in a rear camber and toe kit. You'll be running -1.5* in the front since there's no adjustment with stock arms. You'll want to get symmetrical tires so you can flip them to even out camber wear - at least in the fronts. That should be all you should know.

Offset on those wheels are 15-front, 20-rear...

I'm not really a car guy and have tried to read up on offsets and camber and just suspension in general but it's like trying to comprehend calculus or something.

Just trying to get my car looking decent but do it tastefully...just a slight drop with nice wheels and window tint.

All help, suggestions and feedback is greatly appreciated!

Offsets aren't as bad as I thought. are there any lower offsets?

Are your fenders rolled and pinched up front? If so, run the 235/255 and 5mm spacers all around, you'll be pretty decent.

Then you're fine with your current offsets and recommended tires.

Why don't you want to roll your fenders?
