    What offset will your new wheels be? Offset is a big factor here often overlooked. I would suggest putting your wheel/tire combo on first. That way you can see how low you can go and whether you will rub or not. It make come down to whether you want your car lowered or run 19's.

    +40mm should work but with 19's I would not take the drop more than 1.5".

    I don't know if this will help out or not, I know this has been posted for a lil bit now,

    Road magnet lowering springs 1.5" drop but compares to Eibach sportlines.

    My wheels a 19x8 TSW nogaro's 35MM offset with 225-35-19 I rub on the fender liners some.
