Wheels look good, not a fan of how it kinda crawls out of the barrel though. White and gold look nice. Most people probably want to take notes from you if you want to be as flush as can be without pulling the fender.

and ill take a few more pics tomorrow morning.
@ K3lv--yea was a little odd, but i guess thats how they got the wheels to always have the concave look at anyway size/offset. but its a little different so i dont mind. ima see if i can avoid pulling tomorrow morning by just taking off the 3mm spacer in the rear. if it clears just fine i think that will give me what i need to stop the rubbing in back. thanks again man for the info and feedback through out this whole process.

Wow they look better then I expected. It looks great espcially with just a drop from springs and it sits flush.
Ah I'm jealous lol, I can't wait till I get my rims and drop my car. I just have to be patient lol.
But like everyone else said get a side view bro.

OOOKAAAAY!!! the people have spoken!!! here is your side pic. enjoi
i just got done pulling the fenders just a tiny bit, and re-rolled the fenders, now the only rub i have is in the front front the plastic inner liner. i should have went with 215/40's instead of 215/45's oh well, ill figure something out to have it not rub so bad, maybe sand it down? well see....

for the pulling, i only had to bring it out just a tiny bit, not like K3lv's monster +20 17x9's lol. so i just did the phone book method first, but just ended up using a wedge (more like a rubber lever in a way) to apply under the fender lip where i needed it, jacked up one wheel at a time, stuck it under the fender,lowered the jack a little, used a heat gun and just pushed down. the oval end of the tool pushes the fender out as i applied pressure to it downwards, giving me just the clearance i needed. now to just figure out if i can somehow grind down the plastic where the tire rubs on in the front. ill think of something.
