Thanks bro and beautiful color!!!!
It's not too bad, I measured the other day and it was a +30 rear. It was rubbing on the bumper tab area. I cleaned that up some more and it doesn't rub there. So now I can go a little bit lower. I haven't measured the front. I would imagine it's pretty high, It was sitting on my calipers so I had to use a 15mm spacer and it's still sunk. If I had to guess it's about a +50 or so lol. The offsets were something else but when I had the wheels refinished, I put the more aggressive face on the rear wheel to make it still out. When I decide to change it up a little bit. I'll fix it to make it better.


sorry for the run on paragrah lol, but since someone bumped it. I met up with a friend and he took some pictures for me.

Rubs on front fender liners on heavy dips. Rubs on fender when turning aggressively but my fenders aren't rolled yet. The rear fenders are shaved. I do not rub in the rear anymore
