i agree, you can see alot of the wheel well, a 2 drop should do the trick!!

Looks like your horizon line is a bit off. I can see everyone at home in front of their monitors with their heads tilted. Sorry your car looks nice but I'm not into the tilted thing.

just installed projectors on this thing, anyone know if I should wire the three little LED lights to be on with the parking lights or use them just as signals?
I left them just as signals so they only come on with the blinker, should i change them to the parking light wire?

umm 50 isnt a low profile tire, 35-40 is
if you go with a 225, you need to go to a 50 to keep the same tire diameter as the stock tires.
I have forged 15in wheels, I don't think you can bend those on stock suspension unless your purposely run into a curb or something stupid
btw, I see a lot of miseducation on this forum, sad

arrogance??? For a "daily beater" why put dark tint, de-badge, projectors, and different wheels. A beater is usually an old car/truck that just "gets from point A to point B." It looks like you lo pro tires and serious wheel gap because its not a stock wheel. and........People were just saying they dont like how 7/10 of the pics had some serious angles on them.

the tires are the same diameter as stock tires and wheels, that is stock wheel gap in the pics
A) the car gets too hot in the summer, this is reason for tints
B) this car needs light wheels to actually move and you get better gas mileage with lighter wheels, and you need a wider wheel to accomidate 225's so you wont go three wheelin around a expressway ramp on high speeds on stock suspension
C) debadged the car because I hate letters on my car, I do it to every car I have ever owned
D) I dont show my cars anymore, I am more about performance, I did the show thing when I was younger and it got to be too expensive and honestly it wasn't worth it
by the way, I wasnt being arrogant, that wasnt my post, so relax

I think I got sea sick from the crooked pictures and
the swirls in 6 week old paint!
That's a lot of mods for a daily driver. I especially like the
plans for changing out the headlights.
And if the photos weren't meant for others viewing pleasure,
then why sharethem in public forums?

i don't think its the angles of the pictures getting you sick. swirls in 6 weeks old paint. maybe cuz its cheap paint??? and i don't even see any swirls. i see a reflection of the flash. lol a lot of mods. since when was tint and wheels a lot of mods. and like i said i didn't take these pics for him to post in this forums so other box owners can say whooptie doo u have a box like me. i took em cuz we were bored and f@cking around and didn't give 2 ____s the way the came out. anything else you want to add??? i see you guys like to bash a lot.

Hey, I'm not bashing, just stating facts.
Swirls comes from improper washing/care.
I thought it odd for someone to put custom wheels and
headlights and window tint on a "daily beater"
It just looks like you are getting really defensive.
We were trying to help offer suggestions when you got your
panties in a bunch.
Example: getting taller rubber to protect the car from bad
city streets, rather then avoiding lowering the box. You could
put slightly taller rubber, and still lower the box, get better
then stock ride comfort for a "daily beater", and protect the
suspension and rims or whatever else you were worried about.
It's just suggestions.
Pop a pill and chill.
