Those are TSW Jarama 20" 245/45/20, 40 offset. It's also lowered with the eibachs.
After getting them put on, I've been having thoughts..... I should have gotton the 22's....... Or maybe tried a 245/40/20 tire...

With both 245/45/20 and 245/40/20, your tire diameter is about 1/2" different from the stock 235-55-18 tires. With the 45 profiles, your speedometer will read low compared to the stock setup (i.e. you're driving faster than you think you are), and with the 40 profiles, your speedometer will read high compared to the stock setup. I'd personally prefer the latter, but then of course you're giving less protection to those new wheels.
Did you weigh the new wheel/tire combo prior to putting them on the car? I'm guessing that such a setup adds a LOT of unsprung weight to the car, thereby negatively affecting vehicle acceleration and cornering.
