Thanks guys for the compliments.
Yes 225's in the fronts on a 9.5. It's not that much of a stretch but I had to go with something that narrow in order for me to drive comfortable at that height. I had 245's before and with a pull I still had to raise up the car 1.25 inches just to turn.
And to answer the question weather I'm on air? No I'm on coils.

I think the car looks great. Nice wheels and I am feeling the lip. Great job buddy. Just watch out with those 225s up front on an LS. She is a big girl rolling on some tires that are totally over loaded. I know the VIP guys go this route all of the time. Just be careful as they wear and we move into the summer. Also I would suggest avoiding Falkens. The tread separates easier than most

have to be careful when you totally overload a tire like that. Add a little summer heat , with some age, and a worn inside and BOOM you have a perfect storm for the tread to separate . Been there done that.
