Looks like you haven't done spacers yet. See how the top of the wheel looks tucked in after the drop compared to the before picture?

Actually i have 12 inch rears with an offset that is equivalent to 17mm spacers added to stock wheels. I think once i get an alignment with less camber it will look perfect. Also the tire is stretched out more because of the 12 inch rim. Wish i had gotten 325's instead of 305s

Ah, that results a -2 step in tire size which explains the unusual slope of the sidewalls. I don't know how much it would end up costing you, but you could consider selling the existing tires if they are relatively fresh at a loss (possibly a significant one though) and get the 325s. Your ride, handling, and look would be greatly improved though. The wheel lips would be better protected against rash as well.

I like the wheel choice greatly: style, color, and width! Would look great with the beefier tires. What are they?

They look like Ray rims.

A bit of tyre stretch looks better to me; i wouldn't go wider personally.

I have H&R with 10 and 18 mm spacers on stock wheels and MPSS tires. Check avatar for reference.

Great reference picture, thanks for the effort. You did the work yourself?

I'd like to lower my car also, but I have the factory aero kit and the roads in my town are terrible. I already scrape occasionally, but can probably deal with that. What concerns me is ride quality. I've ridden in lowered cars before (not porches) and the ride was really bumpy. When I put the car in sport mode, with how bad the roads are here in New Orleans, I always turn off the stiffer suspension because it bounces too much.
Can anyone who has lowered their car with springs (or damptronics, however I don't really want to spend $3k+) comment on the ride quality. Is regular mode with springs similar to sport mode without? Worse? Better?
Thanks
