I've been down that road. My '92 was lowered first with cut coils (bad idea). The 15x7 Centerlines rubbed the lower arms a long way from steering lock. I went to 1" drop springs and 2" drop spindles. The ride and handling were super. The biggest tire that worked well in the front were 235/60/15's, but 245/60/15's worked with a little inner fender rub at lock. 255/60/15 on 15x8 were out back, with spring steel plates stacked for a 2" drop. I had a 160 lb Snugtop shell that served to lower the rear slightly.
