Default Drop on 15" ATS Cup

I am planning on getting the 15" ATS Cups. I saw them on a thread on this forum and they are just what I am looking for. Will the Tanabe lowering springs (2.2" front / 2.0" rear ) be enough to fill the gap? Also, if I want some beefy tires what do you guys recommend and what offset? Thanks.

hmm... i guess it depends on how much you want your fender gap to be filled. i have the same tanabe springs with 205/50/15 tires. and i still have about a 2 finger gap front and back. u can check out the pics thru the link below. (the last 6 or so pics)..

Bro, your 15" look great with that 2" lower! Thanks for the pictures they are very helpful. Do you rub at all with your combo? I'm considering the ground control coilover which would give me a bit more drop, but also the flexibility of taking it up if I need to. Or I could get the Tenabe springs and a fat tire although I'm a little worried about rubbing.

thanks! .....if ur talking to me, that is.

i dont even come close to rubbing. how fat of a tire are you talking about? if i could have afforded coilovers, i wouldve gotten them instead of the springs cuz i wanna get loooow. but o well.
