+1 would love to see more pics of spartan's set up because I'm planning on buying +20 +25 cv1s with an eibach drop, just want to make sure how the rears would look poked out 
I cannot say for sure becuz I have never seen that set up you have in person. Sparteng37 do you have any pics of your car? especially pics that can view how flush the wheel is with the fender?? I have seen 2 guys here with the eibach and vosssen with the 20-25 set up, someone was running 235/30 and 255/30 too much wheel gap no need for strecthed tires on eibach drop. he changed to coils and slammed his car. another guy had it and he was running 245/35 and 285/30 on eibach, that looks better but still a bit of a wheel gap and the poke out a touch. you really need to see the difference in perosn to understand it.

Ok, I'm going to go with 245/30/20 on the 20x8.5 +15 fronts and 275/30/20 on the 20x10 +20 rears (thoughts are still welcome). I don't think I will have to shave the bumper bracket with these sizes and the eibach drop (thoughts?).

I created a new thread for my findings of the perfect eibach CV1 offset/tires

I was going to suggest that, but 265/30 are pricey. You can go 245/35 in the front I would think. 255/30 or 255/35 would probably be better for the rear.

I hear you on the 255 for the rear but I really don't want that much stretch (but I do like a little stretch if that makes sense). Also, I would like the front and the rear to have the same look so that's why I want at least 30 millimeters difference concerning the section width between the tires because of the 8.5 inch fronts and 10 inch rears. Only a handful of tire manufacturers make a 265/30 so my options are limited if I go that route.

Ok, I got the wheels and the lugs should be here soon. I think I've decided to go with the 245/35/20 fronts and 275/30/20 rears. The tire ideas I'm throwing around are the Hankook' v12's, Nitto NT555, and General Exclaim UHP. Which tire is the slimmest in that I might be able to run these without requiring any shaving to my bumper bracket?
