Nice!

If you don't mind my asking, how much did everything set you back?

How does it handle? Wider tires and better rubber should make a pretty big difference. I haven't decided what I'm going to go with yet. I plan to get full use out of the sock set up before I make the leap. Yeah, I'm cheap.

BTW, I noticed you don't have the front plate. Any trouble from the local cops or MP's? I want to take mine off, but I don't want to deal with the hassle.

Nice.... that really cutting close in the front with the 18x9 at 45.. it pushed out about 1 inch... which looks great with stock height but when lower you should be ware of the REAR fender lip cutting the tire when hitting bump, dips, and corners.... then again this is all from calculations and plus your are so far the only one on 18x9 +45 with a RA... let us know how it goes!!!
