thanks for the comments the wheel off sets are a +20 all the way around. Worked out really good in the back almost what I need to be flush in the front just a little off. Probably will be getting rid of these soon to go to a 3 piece wheel something that really pushes my new flare out back to its limits. I am thinking air next I have been seeing some of you guys putting together you own custom kits for air just wondering how that works out with price and possible if anyone could point me in the right direction

yeah the front end was one of the first things I changed it is a direct bolt up. Only thing that does not line up perfectly is the fender liner at the very bottom corner it has a very small gap really not that noticeable.

I'm over in Tampa Florida but i lived in Miami for about 15 years i'm down there a lot.
The tire on the back is a 255/30/20 i will be going to a 245/30/20 once i drop the car some more. The drop with the springs is okay the front bumper makes the car look a lot lower then it is still to much wheel gap for me though
