I don't know if the Nismo S-Tune coilovers will lower your gap that much.. Why not get something height and/or maybe dampering adjustable?

Tein Basics are like ~$800ish.

I allready got the Nismos so no options here.On tires: the old ones were real olds Toyos F4000 burned to the cords with cuts at shoulders and hardened by age (7 years) . A day & night diference here. Great improvement!

Why would fender gap be huge? Assuming you started with 195/60/R15 and got 205/55/R15, there is only a 1.2 percent change in overall wheel diameter. Is it even noticable?

I don't doubt that there is gap, you know better than I do, but I am about to get the same size tires and I hope it's not as crazy as you make it out to be!!

Wow! Those wheels are clean! I'm rolling on 13 year old stock so your fender gap looks like the hotness compared to what I've got! I think it will look great with S-Tunes!
