I think once you lower your ride to eliminate the huge gap, it will look 100% better. It looks the stance is a bit off with the low profile tires with the gap, plus the rear tire looks stick out in this picture. I'm always the one to say enjoy what you like, who cares what others may say. Congrats on your new purchase!

Congrats on your new wheels. As long as you like 'em, that is all that matters.

Drop +1, Wheels neutral, No tint -1... so it's even for me, but like others have said, as long as you love it, that's all that matters.

Aw, come on, give the guy a break. I like the wheels and I think the height is fine. And that is just my opinion.
