My baller on a budget LS400

I've been a member for a while now and I just figured I would post pictures on how my car looks now. Keep in mind this is my daily and I am saving up for new wheels which I will hopefully pick-up in July, i just got tired of rolling on stocks. All feedback will be appreciated.

A few weeks ago a friend of mine was telling me about this
LS with 2nd Gen SC wheels. I finally saw your ride in person
at the UMD meet. Looks nice with that big drop. Hope to
meet you sometime. Are you going to the VA Beach event?

nah, i cant go to the VA beach meet because I have work.

what time do you all meet at the chevron?

For wheels, i am up in the air for getting either SSR vienna dish II, eurolines or
leon hardt waffe.

i picked up these wheel because i figured they would make good temp wheels and i could throw them on in the winter. also i was tired of rockin stocks for so long.

i apreciate the feedback

I say you can slap on a 50mm spacer all around. I still have the ones I took off my car if you want to try it out. But if you're thinking about rolling with it you definitely need to roll your fenders.

you'd want to run a 1.5" front, 2" rear for even fitment on a non staggered wheel setup. at that point you'll probably need a roll as well as more stretch.
