Looks great! Mind posting your wheel/tire/suspension specs?

Sure thing.

Suspension: H&R Sport springs on Tokico shocks and struts

Wheels: Avarus AV8 18x8 +48 all around, H&R 10mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers in the rear (18x8 +38 front and 18x8 +33 rear effective offset)

Tires: 215/40/18 General G-Max tires, really happy with these for an all season performance tire and the 215s have a very slight stretch on the 8" wide wheels, it looks good without being overboard

Do you have your fenders rolled or shaved at all with this setup? Is there any rubbing?

Rolled pretty solidly. Didn't rub before I rolled them but I didn't want to take the chance of it getting into the tire on really bad bumps or with passengers in the car.

This looks awesome, and I especially like the tail lights. Anyone know what model lights those are and how they appear when the brake is applied?

I'm looking to swap out my tail lights for something like what he has, but I don't want individual LED lights, just a solid red and a solid white when I brake and reverse.
