Tire size help - lowering car more
Right now, I have 20" Forgestar F10s which are; 20x9.0 +32 / 20x10.5 +39. I'm running these on Yokohama S.Drives 255/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20. The rolling diameter on the S Drives are way too big and I can't really lower my car anymore because of this factor (I'm only about 1 1/4" dropped in the front and rear).
I'm going to be changing my suspension up and switching out my Tanabe Sustec Pros for some Stance GR+ coilovers so I can lower the car even more with dampening adjustment abilities, my question, which tires would be best for me to lower the car even more?
Should I be looking for more of a squared style tire (Hankook Ventus Evo12)?
I was either thinking Hankook Evos 245/35/20 in the front, 285/30/20 in the back or Nitto 555 Extreme; 235/35/20 - 275/30/20.
I'm not really into the stretched / poked / low aspect ratio due to roads around here.
Thoughts?

if you're looking to lower it MORE, you'd want to go the opposite. You wouldn't want a more square tire yet a rounded tire to avoid rubbing. Falkens or Toyos are great for this depending on what quality tire you want.

No dampening control. You can lower the car as much as you want, it just doesn't mean you won't rub in the wheel well liner (in the front), which is my issue. I need a firmer spring rate in order to drop the front anymore.
