I think they look good like that. It would look more down to business if it was about 2-3 inches higher because you took 500lbs out of it.

Here are some crappy pics, I still need to lower it a lil, I'll mess with it later this week. And the rear tires are bigger incase you're wondering, 28" back there.

What is the size of that 28" tire out back? It looks to be too wide for the rim, which isn't exactly safe. Maybe its just the view I'm seeing it at as well.

345/40/17, the wheel is 12" wide, but it does bulge a little, although the tire shine makes it look a lot worse than it is for whatever reason. Section width on these and the 315 MT's is 12.6" so they are pretty much identical there, just more sidewall which makes them look like they bulge more. Think truck tire or a 28" DR on a 15. Although I could be completely wrong?

Yea, the rear needs to be dropped for sure, and the front I can adjust with the QA1's so that shouldn't be too bad.

I don't know who Optimal is.

I actually took apart the wheels, acid washed them, prepped etc. then painted them with automotive paint. It's only temporary because I figured that would be easier to remove than powder if I didn't like it. However I really do like it so I'm probably going to pull them off again Monday or the Monday after and send them off to get powdered. Right now they are all satin. I'd like to change the lip to gloss and get the centers satin.

Car looked, in my opinion VERY good with the rims the way they were.

If the rim is 12" wide then that is fine. Just seems smaller in the photo's. Not a big fan on the tire being that large if its going to be like that on the street though. If it was at drag strip then its ok.
