I was running vmr v705's with the same specs except my rear offset was 45. I am on H&R coils all the way down which sits pretty much the same as SS springs and I was running 215/35 front and 235/35 rear to clear. I don't think those sizes can be run without rubbing all four corners.

Given your tire sizing I wouldn't recommend you go lower as you should fill out the gap quite nicely.

I absolutely want to get lower im already on hr sports and that didnt make any difference with stock spring.

So i want to know which tire i have to buy with those offset
Front tire should be ok as ive read on other post if you are really sure it wont fit ill also changes front tires

I dont like the gap with this setup
There is almost a 2 fingers gap in front and a bit more than 1 finger on the back

I could maybe have gone with 225/35 and 245/35 but I wanted the most stretch I could get on those wheel sizes. I can't say for sure if the larger sizes would work or not.
