Sounds like your rear struts are shot. Push down hard on the rear of your car and let off, how many times does it keep bouncing?

Define "alot".
Google "tire plus size calculator". I came up with this:

Your width is a full 20mm off. Either get the tires that are fully compatible, or take your car back to the bodyshop to have the fender lips rolled.

I read through some parts a couple times, but I can't find the offset. It'* supposed to be 40, but that counts for the calipers and such clearing nicely. As for width, I think you should go for a larger number offset. That doesn't explain your car sagging, though.
Check the way the spring coils. I recently found that the Aerostar the last person to wake up drives has an uncoiled spring in the rear.

My 95 is not here right now, but if someone could measure their cars heigth from the ground to the wheel opening and then compare to yours and see if there is a difference. In the meantime measure each side of your own and compare them. Make sure the trunk is empty when you do this.

o.k its getting so bad that my tire is starting to shred off 3-4'' long peices of rubber
i just noticed it today so i will be parking the 95 untill i can get some new shocks and springs put on.. or maybe even some spring spacers..

Your rubbing on the inner fender, thats probably whats cutting off the tread, somebody a few posts up mentioned that, Id take those rims off and put the stockers back on for now, until you actually figure out what the issue is with your car, your gonna wreck the new wheels and possibly something major with the car,
Figure out the issue and minimize the final cost
