Just my $0.02

Good luck with your search.
Really? I like how my car looks with 16x6 Fuchs and 205/55-16 tires:



With stock torsion bars I delevoped a rear inner fender rub.

After consultation with Jeff Gamroth (Rothsport Road and Race) and Steve Weiner I went to Turbo T-bars (21 mm front/26 mm rear) to reduce squat and roll. I had Rothsport do a decent lower/align/corner balance during which they discovered a bent banana arm (which was replaced). I no longer have any more issues.
