But I'd go with 225/40 like said above. I'd also recommend a +45 offset if you can get it, but if not, 43 is pretty safe.
Well if you rub now...doesn't mean stiffer springs will prevent that once you're lower. In fact you may rub more due it being closer. But with 43 offset, I bet you are barely rubbing the tire, and if your car reacts to the drop like mine, then you should have a little negative camber to help tuck that rear tire in the fender over bumps and hard corners.
The rubbing only happens when I have 3+ passengers in the car coming off of driveways and large dips in the road. If the rubbing continues, I can always shave a small part of the rear bumper fenderwell lip off, since that is where it's rubbing. Did you have your +45 rims on before you got the drop?
