Looks good! WWP FTW!

So that's .5" wider with 3mm less offset and about .75-1" lower than what I'm planning- looks like my setup will work afterall.

Wow looks amazing! Rear looks meaty as ****! Why don't you adjust the camber in front though? It looks really goofy with so much in the rear and little in front. It will take car of your rubbing issues too.
But seriously... that rear though. ******* perfect, I love the fitment.
I'm interested to see pics of your front with the smaller tire on there, the fronts I'm fitting are 18x10 +4.

Thanks danmn858 I will adjust the camber on front when i swap tires, the rubbing i have on front is not gonna get any better with camber because is the tire rubbing on the chassis due to the tall sidewall!!! The tire itself is kinda sunk but the wheel pokes a lil.

Question, have you driven this on the road yet? Haha. It looks as if you have maybe only kept it in your driveway/garage. Also what are dropped on?
