Default overhauled suspension and new 20's

Per my last post, I finally got around to hooking up with my mechanic buddy this last weekend. He installed Daizen bushings, ball joints, tie rods, Tanabe NF210 springs, alignment, a set of staggered L-Sportline Model IV multi-piece 20" wheels... and a partridge in a pear tree.

I'd like to get them balanced since I got them used and they haven't been done in a while as it seems a little off. The steering much improved and minimal tramlining with the wide tires. The suspension is rougher but not too bad with factory shocks. I'm plan on getting a set of KYB this summer anyways. I still have an L-Sportline grill to install after I paint it soon. I couldn't wash it again but these pics should work for ya'll:

Looks nice, Im thinking about some Zenetti Five's for a similar style but anohter .5-1" in the rear would look hot. Whats the rear width?

The car looks great with your new wheels. I was sooooooo close to getting these wheels last year and then ran into money issues. Now if only they had more lip action.........
