Default Need some advice for suspension

Im looking to lower my car to get rid of the huge wheel gaps. Right now I have 20x8.5 inch wheels with 225/35 tires with 35+ offset. I searched the site and pretty much came to the conclusion that the nf210 springs would suit me best. However it doesnt seem like the 1.7 drop in the rear will be low enough to fill out the gap. I recently saw eibach springs that lower the car f: 1.2 r: 2.2, but its cutting it real close. Suggestions?? And no, for the time being I am not interested in coilovers.

Thanks in advance!

With that low of an offset on 20's I think you'll have some rubbing issues on anything lower than TRD's or NF's.

Here's a thread from CPL McMillan USMC. He has 20x8.5 +40 wheels with 235/35 tires, and TRD springs. He rubs sometimes, so I'm guessing that even with 225/35 tires, the 35 offset will probably lead to rubbing in the front with any drop.

It wont clear with the +35. You will hit. I am running +38 and rub in the back. So I know a +35 will hit hard.

Alright, thanks a lot for the replies! It will be either NFs or TRDs in the near future
