The wheels look great! I love those deep dish rims. Did you need to get spacers for them since they're so much wider than the stock wheels?

looks really good man....i'd pull the front springs and cut 1/3 coil off to even the gap between the tire and fender....it's pretty easy and safe, just don't use heat.....do you have eibach pro kit springs?

No, but I did have to hammer some spots on the inner fender to get them to stop rubbing. It wasn't a big deal at all.

@jc98ss- Yea, I was considering cutting the springs soon. I just have the factory bilsteins on it.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!
