Anyone lowered their SHO, (eibach's, H&R's, Megan coilovers) and keep their stock wheels and tire size?  I have Megan's on order but am seriously contemplating on meth over Nurbs with whats left of my budget.  I know I could get wider tires, but I just bought mine 5,500 miles ago an stayed with 245/45/20.  So it will be a while until I can get wider tires. Thanks.

I will be installing the Eibach Pro kit whenever my dealer digs out from their current onslaught.

I have considered spacers to push the flower powers out a bit to tide me over till I decide on wheels.

Not really worried about issues. I'm more concerned with how it looks compared to wider wheels that "fill out" the fenders more.

I've heard 3mm spacers are max. I've also heard of someone running I think 5/16" up front and 7/16" rear. I've also heard must go with hub centric and the studs will need to be lengthened. And some are weary of spacers on stock wheels altogether. So many different options and so many different opinions. I would love to get spacers, but it seems hard to pin down exactly which ones would be safest and best.

I can post some pictures of my MKS or if you want to see it live we could see about meeting up, you're not very far from me.

Pics would be appreciated. In all honesty I'm gonna install the Megan's anyway. I'll find out then wether or not I'll like the look. I'm just always second guessing myself. Thanks.
