Need more of a straight side shot, but they look like they stick out a bit too much for my taste. Might want to check the back spacing on the wheels. Do they come with fronts? How much money do you have to spend on wheels/tires?

Also, is it me, or is does the side wall look like it has come in contact with the fender. I see a little groove on the tire.
