245/35 or 30 with H&R springs on the front

Hi chaps.

Im ordering tyres tonight.. Ive got the option to get 245/35/20s or (30s being the smaller of the two) is anyone running these with a drop? Im just worried about it feeling like a landmine has exploded when i hit a rough patch of road

Exactly what im worried about. I dont want it to be bad but also im only considering 245/30's for rubbing with the drop and spacers.. As i have a steep drive which im worried about bottoming out on

With the roads in Kent you are brave lol
I'm keeping mine at the standard height with the 20's as I have to go over too many speed humps where I live :-(

what size wheel? 20" I would run 35's if its 20". H&R springs seem to leave a bigger gap up front than the rear on the 6's. if you're running a 20" and go 30 series, the gaps going to open up even bigger.
