Bigger tires or drop ?

I average 16 mpg, LOL. I only drive around town and country backroads and I hammer it a lot. Gotta keep the Meth flowing and fresh! The tire sizes/setup is great. Not slammed but you can tell it looks different. No perceptible change in handling, But I have the sway bars upgraded also.
Yeah it’s not over slammed but the stance is perfect and just right. So you didn’t notice any improvements in handling or cornering or ride quality from installing the ark gt f springs ?

Any tire recommendations. The general g max completely changed my q50 after putting those on. The tire and rim set up you have you can use the stock rims or would I have to get aftermarket rims ?

Ark GT-F Definitely helped with handling. Keeps it a bit more buttoned down without being to harsh. As for tires, I’m a big Michelin fan but they are expensive. If you can handle summer tires just get an good quality brand. I do like the PS4S ai have though.

Yes, In order to run tires that big, you need to go to the rim specs I have at a minimum. Or what @Blueangel went with.

I’ll definitely be getting those ark gt f springs since they actually help the ride and improve dynamics of the vehicle just later down the line. Thanks my guy .

That’s so clean and fire my guy. Can’t wait to get those ark gt f on mines. I would prefer no rubbing at all though .
if you want no rubbing just stay with one of the other setups and offsets we mentioned above.

Aarvix, your ride looks sweet.
 
When I say rubbing, it's really just a little paint rubbed off the top wheelwell liner screw, that's it.

The ARK GT-F springs do not require cutting the bumpstops, so your tires shouldn't be able to eat the liners unless you go too big of a tire.

I did lose about 2-3mpg going so much wider than stock (as others have mentioned here).

sure. this is the best I got at the moment. the last one is before I put the 245/40 tires on. it's with the OEM 225/40 on a 8.5 inch wide rim. a little too much stretch but still looked decent. The drop is enough to know the car looks different, but not so much it's slammed or looks non-stock. I've had H&R springs on like 5 previous cars, with a more aggressive drop, and the Ark GT-F are just much more comfortable, but still add a lot in looks and performance.

Those ark gt f springs make the car look like a whole new beast. Those combined with the sway bars should have handling on point. Thanks. If I did go with the oem tires and rims on my ride with the ark gt f springs until it’s time to swap tires would I be good ? I see the last pic you mentioned that.
 
Yes. Totally fine. It will still look good.
