New Wheels

Finally got my new wheels on the car despite the rain today. 18X8 with 2.5" lip up front and 18X9 with 3" lip in the rear.

I'm gonna have to keep the 4x4 action up front cause the lip barely clears my driveway as it is. The look doesn't bother me but if I ever drop it I will use the RB springs up front.

wheels look good, but the spoiler throws it all off, it is too big and does not really fit well with the lines.

but this is about the wheels, sorry. They do look nice, and clean too.

How does it ride with the staggard setup . Is the ride quality compromised alot
or just minor?

the average driver, on the street, will not notice any difference in ride quality due to staggered setups. Larger diameter wheels with lower profile tires makes more of a difference.
