I have 16x8 +20 wheels and i just received my eibach pro kit (1.8F & 1.6R)
I am trying to decide on a tire size And i have searched but cant get any photos or any idea except for a bunch of opinions that totally clash. My drop isnt heavy so i need a somewhat of a tall tire i presume, unless i can see a another tire that looks decent, nothing too large or leaving too big of a wheel gap, would a 55 tire height be too chunky? I know i wont be able to rid a lot of the wheel gap but i just dont want it to look like a monster truck. Let me know and photos would be great, thanks for your input guys appreciate it!

THIS IS NOT my car, but it should help some what
wheels are 16x8 +10, 10mm off from yours.
205/50/16
and he isn't crazy low either

btw this took me 30 seconds to find.
either way there will be a significant gap since you're only dropping the car on lowering springs. I would just stick with the tire size pictured above.
This next car has the same diameter, width, and tire size. Only difference is the offset is +15

I'd assume your height will look something like that?

205..up to..235/50..possibly 55.../16
Just your personal choice bro. You can pretty well throw any size tire that will fit onto that wheel and not have to worry about clearance.

just buy my 17's
They come with rubber.
they should fill up the wells nicely.
I wouldn't go over 215.
and just run 50 series.
anything above that will just be tall and silly, the small amount of gap you ahve will still be nothing compared to regular cars out there.
