the fronts look great, but that rear needs a much taller tire!

Thanks . That is the right size rear tire though as I want to stay away from a 28" tire so it's not a mismatch and cause abs lights to come on

That front wheel/tire setup is drop dead sexy. Is the car lowered at all in the rear? I think it would look better if it were dropped a little more.

Yeah it has BMR springs in the rear and coilovers in the front. They are pretty close to same size. The rears are a 275/50/15 nitro so they maybe just a shade shorter. I will possibly change them out in the future

I think it's the polished lip in the back that gives it a smaller appearance overall. It looks good though, any plans to powdercoat the rear wheel to match the front more?

Was actually waiting on weld to release a all black version but they haven't yet and in the future if they do I'll replace these or may powder coat them
