First off, I just joined and this is my first post. I have a '95 240SX coupe/S14 that I'm just starting to mod.

My question revolves around tire width, hieght, and lowering springs. My car has the stock sized 195/60 15's and I would like to go as wide as possible, without having to make any mods to allow for wider tires. Over on 240sx.org I saw a FAQ stating that many people had gone to 225/50 15's and lowered without rubbing problems. What I'm looking for is for some kind of confirmation that I should be able to go to 225/45 16's without rubbing problems.

The next question is, how far do you think I could lower it? I've been looking at Eibach Pro's and Sports, but am unsure which would be best.

Any info would be much apprieciated. Thanks.
