Nice, why the tire size difference? It's gonna be a pain to rotate.

the size difference is because its what i had on the car and couldnt afford new tires, but i wana go with a 235 in the front now that its on there and drop the rear to a 235 as well, but it looks pretty good just gotta trim the plastic part of the rear bumper, thats the only place it rubs

Your hood looks dope

no i wana go 235 because then i still stretch front and rear and i dont have to run more negative camber in the back. i rub just a little bit right now so i will be perfect with a 235
