Did you think about doing black grills?

Also, is that an ACS emblem on the front?

Dunno at his height, but I'm running a 10.5 +5 in the rear and 10.5 +30 clears in the front no problem.

Is it just me or is your rear camber a bit messed up? I understand this may be normal with such a large drop, but if you value your tires, you might want an adjustment.

Man that looks great!
Was wondering one of these days if I could fit 315's on the front as well without issues.

I'm running iForged 20's w/ 275/40 up front and 315/35 in the rear. I don't understand why someone would wanna go so wide in the front

Reducing understeer. Ability to rotate tires. General badassery.

Maybe it's the drop but his wheels up front do not appear to be as wide. 315's require the additional front fender flare to look correct.

I don't have understeer, but after my SC install I might have some oversteer I think staggered looks better and has more general badassery, getting the same width wheels is common.

It doesn't look like he's got the wider fender flares in the rear.
