Lookin good, and I know your on the bumpstops in the back but the wheels look sick that low. Mine was as low as yours in the back, looked great but drove like **** and was banging because it ate the bumpstops off, just raised mine back up about 3/4". Have you considered some black anodized lugnuts? I dont know but assume they might look better than the chrome lugs with the black wheels.

They're 17x11. And the tire is a Goodyear GSD3(wide as ****)

Also, I've noticed that 3 of the wheels look kind of "purple", so I guess Im going to talk to the original owner and try to get them sent back to fikse to get fixed . He said it happened before, and they repair it for free, but takes a month+ to repair.

I've never had any issues with wheels hitting my bumpstops

what springs do you have. Its very rare that people say this but that car needs to be up just alittle. I always thought the prokit was by far the best stance for a fbody
