Nice!!!! Could you email me a picture from the back? Just curious how much, if any, the tires hang outside the wheel well.

Thanks

Thnaks for all the positive feedback. Wheel size is 18" by 10" in the front and 19" by 11" in the back. Tire size is 275/35/18 front with a 295/35/19 rear. I'll try and get a pic of the rear tonight. Price was $3600 I think. And no the rotors are not on backwards.
