They look great , I am still waiting on mine. How much do the front tires stick out beyond the body, what offset did you order and last of all what size tires did you use? Sorry for the interrogation and thanks for posting pics

They look good....it might be just the angle of the pics, but is the front sidewall quite a bit taller than the rear sidewall on the tires?

Those do look great - would like more info on the wheels and tires as requested above. I am assuming the $1600 was just for the wheels, correct?
