Looks good. What is the rear tire size from the factory? Do you feel that 8" in the rear is enough width.

They are great if they are for winter use only. If you plan to use them all year I would have gone wider in the back(9.5 or 10 inch).
The rear tire should be close to flush with the wheel well for an aggressive look. I would also consider some new springs to slightly lower it. It tends to look like an suv with larger diameter wheels.

Very nice "shoes"!

...and enough clearance for navigating turns, without the worry about hitting the wheel wells.

Nice job.
