Suspension and wheel / tire specs, please.

From what I CAN SEE. You could have gotten A LOT better sizing, offset wise, also needs more drop.

rims are 18x10 in the rear with a 275/40/18 tire and the front are 18x8.5 with a 245/40/18 tire. springs were just put on thursday so im still waiting for them to settle before i roll the fender and get some spacers

Fronts could use a small spacer but rears look nice.

XXR's are a good wheel for daily if you're on a budget.

i considered those wheels. not a bad look at all. i probably would have done 18x10 all around though.

I like it, it looks mean. Once again not my flavor but good choice. Hopefully your rear settles a bit.

I almost bought these a while back with the silver rivets, but they look pretty good with gold rivets on your car. Like someone else said a spacer upfront would help the look too.

I like the wheels, and tire size is good. I'd probably bump the sizes up a little bit next time since you have the space to add width.

yup,looks good fer the cheap.

And with that in mind... call XXR and order the red rivet set ( they are removeable and replaceable btw) ... semi gloss black your door handles ( wrap vinyl or trim black paint) and it would tie in far better IMO.
