i didnt know you could fit 9 inch wheels on there....no rubbing issues? how much are you lowered? I was going to get 19x8.5 (with a 22 offset) but if there isnt any problems with 19x9, then maybe ill get those...

my wheels are 18x9 +29 offset. make sure to get the 9.0 size because they have the GTR face. i have 255/35's and rubs slightly ONLY on big bumps but 95% of the time it doesnt rub at all. not sure how low my car is but front and back have 1 finger gap

ill give you my opinion on springs. dont do it! i had Hotchkis springs and my stock struts blew out in a month and the ride quality got worse. do it the right way and get coilovers. if you cant afford coilovers wait until you can afford it... dont spend a few hundred now and at the same time the car handles like crap and at the same time blow our ur stock struts. i had to learn it the hard way..just helping you out.
gonna cost you like roughly 300 total for springs, install and aligment. save that money and put it towards a new set of coilovers.

my 2 cents.

its not always true. Some springs are engineered and designed better than other. If you plan on just lowering the car w/ stock Bilstein Struts, go with the SWIFT springs. These springs are engineered to match the stock strut's (bilstein) valving. The spring rates are linear to provide a very comfortable ride and at the same time it retains the longevity of your stock struts. Its a very good alternate choice if you dont' want to shell out top $ for a set of coilovers.

if you plan on just using the wheels and stock struts, the car will actually look "LIFTED" with stock suspension, especially the front.
