Trying to judge the fender gap with the 35 series tires you've got. Hard to tell still With Super Black.

About 1" in the rear and .75" in the front. Gap increased but overall ride height dropped.

Thanks I looked at a TON of rims and kept coming back to the LMGT4's. Then I debated between 18" and 19" and decided I like the 18's better due to the price of tires, the weight of the wheels and ride comfort.

Just get something with at least a +22, its all personal preference.
I rock American eagle/ Boss Motorsport rims on my car, got them for 650 shipped, 18 x 9.5 with a -4 offset. I think they're the 338's. You can get them in black with a machined lip, and they are made right here in the USA. And you can get them in all kinds of sizes.
