I have 11 inch rears and there is plenty of room for a true coil. Mine are +30 so if you plan to go more aggressive there will be lots of room.

20x10.5 +22

What tire size would have it sitting really nice in the rear? Thanks for your opinions.

I have a question for lowered z owners... Will the front stock camber arms be able to bring the fronts back into spec or will i need aftermarket front camber arms along with the rears i already have

hmm so the oem fronts will be able to bring /--\ back to l--l? Im thinking there might be some toe issues from lowering it too cuz ive driven it for less than a couple thousand miles and the front tires are wore pretty bad on the inside, or is this just from the camber? Thanks in advance for answering my noob questions

By fixed he meant they can't be moved. You will need aftermarket upper a arms in the front to correct camber (and spl are caster adjustable if desirable). Toe can be adjusted by your tie rods however. Toe will eat tires much much faster than camber, and I would suspect toe was your issue before I would camber if it has only been a few thousands miles unless you are running very dramatic camber.

I have SPL that are sitting in my garage awaiting install. I think many would argue they may be over kill for a street car. They are also particularly pricey

I would just say that they are quality parts, not overkill.

+2, stick with 285...why downgrade? Youll have a shorter rear tire which means youll have to lower the rear, probably throw off the entire look.
