i use the newest (smallest) tire size which is 225/35/20 which is about .6" bigger than stock..however the more common sizes are 245/35 and 255/35 which will make your car sit noticably (almost 2") higher than stock

A 245/35 and 225/35 are the same height, the only thing changing between them two are the widths! first#=Width second#=sidewall height. I personally have 245/35/20's and Im using maxspeed springs. The front rubs when you make sharp turns but it also rubbed without the springs in so...

When you change widths you also change rolling diameter.

A 245/35/20 has these specs:
Sidewall: 3.4in
Radius: 13.4 in
Diameter: 26.8in
Circumf: 84.0in
Revs/Mi: 754.0

Where as a 225/35/20 is MUCH different:
Sidewall: 3.1in
Radius: 13.1 in
Diameter: 26.2in
Circumf: 82.3in
Revs/Mi: 770.0

Understand now? Changing width does a LOT.
