Don't git me wrong, I am by no means a fan of lifted el coes with 24 inch rims. I would like to lower my el coe 2in up front 3in back, maybe less, not any more using spindles and lowering springs. Well anyway need to know what size rims would allow this to happen with out rubbing 20's 18's? (need tire sizes as well if posible, do not want to run on rubber bands injoy a comfortable ride). Willing to do miner cutting don't really want to hack my car.

Its all about the offset and what you are using the car for. If it is your daily driver and you have good roads, go with the 20x8 all the way around. Most rims that are 5x4.75 (5x120mm) will have the correct backspacing or offset. A safe bet is a low offset, something under 20et.
If you use the car daily and have ****ty roads, go with as 18x8. This will allow a "more normal" turning radius, and will allow more tire/sidewall for sure. I currently have 20x10's in the back with a 1.5" spacer and 20x9's in the front with no spacer. Cant remember the offset, but I do not it is pretty high, (more than 20et) both front and rear.
At the end of the day, do YOU like the look and ride? That is what is important.
Good luck.:nanawrench:
