After:

That was right after install and they dropped alittle more over the next month but thats essentially the ride height with tanabes.

I believe all of these rims come staggered as mine are too.
but a 275 rear? Thats awesome.
Your rear rims are 18x8.5 right?
I think thats what mine are and I only run a 245.

And you loose some comfort with the tanabes but it was well worth it in my opinion.
I noticed a bigger comfort loss when I put these rims on with the lower profile tires than stock tires.

the rear are 18x10 -6 fronts are 18x9 +6 15mm spacer. I rolled all fenders and pulled the rear 1/4 inch. I have the camber maxed but I am going to reduce it a little bit maybe pull the fenders a little more.
