Nice.

The factory 430 wheels look nice. Some spacers to push them out would be good as well.

Wild thought:
Full face wheels paint-matched to the bottom trim

That's a pretty sick bet. EZ streets ftw! Ever consider painting the bottom half black? Would make it a whole new car. But still looks good!

Are spacers just to look more flush with the wheel wells? I thought it was for brake clearance.

Correct, if you don't need them for the front for caliber clearance many put a rear spacer on to make it flush.

Yeah, they're just a metal disc you bolt in between your wheel and the hub, can be used for clearing calipers, preventing fender liner rub, wheels touching your suspension, or for better fitment. Lots of shtuffs
