I used T1R Lowering springs. The pattern is 4 x 100mm. You can get a rear disc conversion from several different vendors, T1R is one of them.

Either set of tires will cause rubbing...offset needs to be +45 or more...I'm running 17x7 +42 with 205s and I rub slightly. Another guy is running 17x7 +45 and 195s and doesn't rub.
