Thanks to everyone's feedback. Confirmed what I suspected. Looks like I'll start shopping for 20" rims. Thanks!

Yup the sizes are fine. Some springs are branded if you remove you a wheel you may see a logo.

G37Sam. Good tip. I'll be removing the wheels soon, so I'll take a look then. Thanks!

IMO they dont look loweredm unless they were just a tiny bit. Seems the winter tires may be misleading the view. Only way really to know is by you checking out those springs, other then that its a bunch of guessing.

I agree doesnt look lowered to me. If anything its the way the picture was taken. BTW how many miles are on your car? Cars tend to get a little lower with age due to gravity and shocks giving way.

No your car is not lowered. No springs will keep you at that high of a height.

Hmmmm. The car has about 60,000 miles. Guess I'll have to check the springs. If I pull one wheel, is there an easy way to tell the difference between stock springs and custom? Some have mention they might be marked or have a particular color. Is this true of all custom springs?

Take a picture and post it, in general though, aftermarket springs will be brightly colored, yellow, green, red, etc.

My original springs were black and had some pink and purple blobs on them, some manufacturer labeling possible but ya after market springs will usually be some different color other than black, you can even turn your wheel all the way to one side, take a good look at the spring,possibly snap a pic and give us your feed back. don't need to take the wheel off.

EDIT: I was incorrect. Thought those were eibachs cause of the dots. But the dots are on the Stock springs and not the eibachs.
