congrats

you are going to have to be careful with a drop, with those size tires you added about 1 inch in diameter from the stock diameters both in front and rear which equals to 1/2 inch less of fender clearance. A 30 profile would have been the close to stock, not sure if that is available in 20's

Pinoy, Westpak is the President of the South Florida Z Car Club. He knows what he's talking about.

Join the club, lots of meets and picnic coming soon.

I had the T1Rs and they were 275x30x20 in the rear, and 245x35x 20 Front.

the front looks good, see about just dropping the rear, those springs are easy to do
