Looks very nice!
might could use a 3 or 5mm spacer on the rear to even out the stance. Just a thought, looks like the rear is a bit recessed compared to the front
Smokin deal!

Yeah, some wheel companies try to split the difference on rear wheel offsets so they don't have to offer two fitments.

Have been planning to get Cray Manta 18/19 in chrome, but after looking at yours, maybe i should save myself a couple bucks and do the silver with mirror polished lip. i think it accomplishes the same look
i'm assuming you didnt lower on stock bolts.
Not the stock bolts. I think the kit I used was the LMS front and rear kit. I just couldn’t get the stance I wanted on the stock bolts

I did end up adding a 1/4” spacer to the rear. I was getting a slight rub on the rear fender liners. Plus it did make the fitment look better.

You did a good job on the stance. Car sits, nice.
