Looks good.

Only thing I'd change about the wheel/tire setup is the front tire size. The car would have a more aggressive stance if you had a little less overall tire diameter up front. Maybe try a 215/60/15 or a 205/60/15. I think the 65 series tires up front have a little too much sidewall, IMO.

When using a wheel like the Prostar, I think it looks best when the rear tires have noticeably more sidewall than the front. It complements the desired overall look perfectly, IMO.

The only reason I used the 215s is they were on my old wheels and are practically brand new

I dont really care about emissions I am going to get in inspected right before the headers then worry about it next year. Why didn't anyone tell me they made 3'' hedman x-tensions. Damn now I want dual 3''.
