So i want to get some 20x9 Front & 20x10 Rear. Tires will be 255/35-20 and 275/35-20 , i already have them laying around.

This IS NOT my car, just for demonstration purposes.Has the exact options in tires and rims.

How low will you recommend to drop it and what springs ? 1 front and 1.5 Rear ?

seriously your best bet would be get your rims and get the tires mounted and put them on your car. then take a tape measure and measure to the top of the wheel lip and just figure x amount lower and know that over time the springs will settle and it will be a little lower.

keep in mind if your rig is under warranty that things like rims,tires and suspension mods may void your warranty. might want to call ford and ask how much for FMS lowering springs and how much to install them to keep the factory warranty.
