Thank you though!

Oh yeah, sorry, I meant tires...lol! IMHO I think you should have taken your time and shopped around for both wheels and tires, the taller profile of those tires plus the tread pattern make it look like a soccer mom mini-van and they definitely wont help the handling, again just my opinion. If you search the the threads here on the forum you will see most guys love the look of the factory 20" staggered setup, (I myself have 22x10.5 at all four corners) 20x9.5 front 20x10.5 rear, tires 275/40/20 front 315/35/20 rear, that will give you some serious meat. So at a minimum you should go with 20's (I think 18's and 19's are too small) to get the look and stance you desire, along with lowering it, and no do not cut the springs! Checkout the links below, here's what I came up with after a 5 minute search for 20" wheels on my local Craigslist.
