Nice! Do you have a picture to show how flush this set up is to the fender?

Also, what size tires are running?

How low is the car and are you experiencing any rubbing?

That is one stretched tire. 255? That's more narrow than stock.

Do you have a front shot of the car showing how much it sticks out from the fender? And how much camber did you run in the rear?

Thanks

I had some 18x9/11 LM on my car for a long while. IIRC tires were 235/275.
Loved the look.
