Tire Opinions..........
ok, my car is a 93 hatchback. so far it's lowered 2''/2.25'' with neuspeed race springs. i just ordered 16x7 rota slipstreams with an offset of +40.

send an email to Luke, the tire rack guy, he'll give you the low down on what you'll need.
here is a link to his thread http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...hp?forumid=964

use a tyre calculator like the one at www.tires.com to figure out what size of tyre u need.
the reason why people get lower sidewalls is due to the use of a larger rim... but want to maintain stock overall diameter so as not to require a speedometer adjustment. it's called "plus sizing"

here is the general idea of plus sizing...
Plus 1: Increase section width by 10mm Decrease aspect ratio by 10 points Increase rim diameter by 1 inch Plus 2: Increase section width by 20mm Decrease aspect ratio by 20 points Increase rim diameter by 2 inches Courtesy of 1010tires.com as the pattern goes, you can figure out what you need for plus 3 and plus 4 fittings...
