    NOOO!!! No, no, and again no! You have sporty rims and your car looks awesome like that, loweirng the rear will just ruin nice looks. Especially if you have bigger tires in the back.

        Thats a bad pic. It doesnt sit high in the front at all . The back is way high. Need to drop it like 1 inch MAX.

                Looks good, though personaly I wouldn't have gotten such large tires in the rear.

                      I like the look of tires with some side wall to them. The low profile tires just look strange to me on the boxes.

                          Good god those are some huge rear tires. Something like a 255/50 all the way around would have been my choice.

                          those are 3" TALLER than stock! 30" vs. 27"

                              damn those are huge!
                              Ida picked someting half way between that and whats on the front.
                              But if thats the look you're goin for, you have a nice wheel to do it on.

                              Is the back jacked up from air shocks or springs? If its air shock, Id let em down a bit - it would look good with the tire just barely tucked into the fender well, and you'd still have a nice rake

                                All spring. My airshocks are blown. Need to make something to lower it.
