40 or 50mm if you have speed bumpers and curbs to get over in the area you live.

depends on what you want. ive gone 55 on the front with back to match on 15's. handeling is epic but for stance i think you need at least a 60 drop on it mate. maybe a little reverse rake on the back end. its all about what you think looks good.
