Looks good. I would either lower the front another 1/2 or raise the back slightly.

18 front (265/35) 19 rear (305/30) Bridgestone Potenza's RE-050A'a from Tire Rack and the Rims from LAPD ($999.99 shipped) and last (but not least) Lugnuts at an unbelievable $25.00 / set.... Hope this help's in eliminating any un-needed $$... you may have..
