    My springs are right. I don't want my car sitting up like a 4x4.

    That's what I have under my car. Using 15x8 wheels w/6" of back space. The 255 60 15 tires are about 3/8" from the spring and I have about 3/4" between the tire and the wheel well lip. It's all a matter of using the right wheels.
