Nice but a little too low,
the tire should Never go below the fender arch line.. if you corner hard while accelerating, could be a problem with rubbing..not to mention reduces the suspension travel too much.. only really works is you have racing springs that will never bottom out, and are way stiff..

raise it like an inch and it should look tight..

that way it does not look as ghetto too,, just low and mean

Tight... Exactly how I want my car to be...

How did you drop the car? What offsets do you have for your wheels, what brand tires, and what size rims & tires? Does the tires rub in the front or back?

agree, looks very nice. i can see what they are saying though, if it was a little higher i still think it would look great. i would be afraid to drive that car sitting that low though.

Edit: i guess im on the fence after looking at it again.

no rubbing at all, when I first put the wheels on I got a little rubbing but I guess that part that was rubbing melted or something because no more...the wheels are 360 Forged so fitment, wheels size, offset and tire size (Nitto) they did for me so I dont have a clue.....Jordan may be able to help here and by the way he did a great job with getting me the look I wanted he really hit the nail on the head with my car.
