Ohh in that case I would go with S-Techs. I would rather be a little lower than you want instead of not low enough.

Here's a picture of my car when I had the S-techs on. I'll see if I can find a side shot with the HTs on. The STs were on for about two years before I switched to the HTs. The setup in this picture was 18x9.5 on 265/35s with S-Techs and Tokico Blues. This became too low for me to deal with.

I would go with S-Techs. The H-Techs are hardly a drop and you'd still have a pretty decent wheel gap. S-Tech looks perfect for OEM setup where you just want to close off the wheel gap where it's even all the way around the curvature of the fender/wheel.

Although a slight rear spring-mount mod could help the rear a lil more too.

Watkins, you lost 17.5mm in ride height going with that tire size on your car in comparison to stock 18's. This could account for why you feel your car sat to low on stechs.

Ok I think Ill do S Tech....no wait Ill do H Tech...no wait....

I just dont want to have to worry about to much scraping. It sucks when you cant just enjoy driving your car because youre looking for holes and such.

You are completely right, but there's a caveat to add. I have three sets of wheels: OEM, my track 17's, and the 18's that are in that picture. While my initial measurement of my front lip was taken with the 18's on it, with the other sets of wheels on the car was still lower than I would have preferred.
