Ok in this department I’m pretty much clueless

Now I’ve just received my coilovers
Novitec corse +

I plan to install them and also change my tyres

Looking at

215/40
245/35
Michellin pilot sports

Now my question is as the tyres are bigger does it slightly raise the car ? Or fill the arches

My main goal is to close that gap in the arch but remain with the same current clearance I have, as its hard enough already with my koshi splitter to get over things, any lower would be suicide

What’s everyone’s thoughts !

The 215/245 PSS will raise the car only about 2/10" and actually make the speedometer closer to correct speed. I have that combo on my stock 18/19" phone dial wheels. Much better than the PZeros for tramming. They are what the car should have come with. Visually not much difference than original tires as far as filling wheelwells, etc. You may want to try 1# less air front and rear than the stock settings since they have more volume than stock thus a bit less air pressure is correct. That would be cold temperatures.
