Default Filling the wheel well/lowering

Ive been doing homework on a tc for a while, and my biggest gripe is the amount of space in the wheel well.

Obviously, lowering the car takes of that, but I do like the OEM lip kip, and am worried that lowering (with trd) and a lip kit will scrape the road alot. FYI, my driveway is pretty dam steep, and my current firebird scrapes unless i come down at an angle.

Since im not keen on going larger than 17" for wheels, will putting some 215/50 tread tires fill up the well a bit better? Or should I not worry about speed bumps and steep driveways with a lip kit and lowering

The OEM lip kit doesn't go TOO much lower. Maybe 1-2". And your best bet in your situation is TRD for the springs. I think you should be fine at least with speedbumps and everyday driving. I'm just not sure about your driveway. I don't know how steep it is... chances are that if you have to go at an angle with one vechile, you will with this too.
