Default New Wheels & Tires

I put new wheels and tires on my Camaro a few months back. I'm happy with them. The front sits up too high cause my apartments speed bumps rival Mount Everest. Once I get my house it will be lowered accordingly. The wheels are Miro 111 18's all around. I didn't offset cause I want to rotate tires. What do you all think? Does the front look "off" ?

Hard to really see in those pics but the front does look a bit high. What springs are on it?

I have QA1 coilovers on all four corners. The front is high cause of my apartments speed bumps. If it were set to 25 1/5 or even 26 inches, I would not make it out of my complex.
Another angle

Now on that 2nd pic it looks perfect IMO. Both front and rear look basically level and lowered the same

I think it looks good. I have the same car but I went with black wheels with a chrome lip. One question, did you roll the rear fender lip? I have my new wheels sitting in the garage because the fender rolling tool doesnt get delivered until tomorrow. The offset on my 18x9.5 is 45 and it looks like the tire could hit the fender if I found a large pothole.

I didn't roll the fenders at all. My settings on the coilovers keep it from bottoming out. Here is a picture of the rears.

Next time I will go with a bigger sidewall for sure. These are 35 and do seem small.
