If you were to drop a vertical line from the outer edge of the fenderwells, where would the wheels be in relation to that line? I can't tell from the single pic if they would be inside or outside.

Looks awesome! As long as you don't rub, I think the fitment is really good

Hard to tell for certain from one picture

I have an agressive fitment on my car

What are the measurements of yours?
Width? And offset?

The rim off set looks good to me, but the tire looks a bit stretched on the rear. What size rims/tires do you have?

Based on the new pics, I think the fitment is perfect. If you lower the car more, the wheels in camber in a little so I "think" it should clear with no problems... but then you have to worry about camber wear and all that.

Looks great, but I agree in that a lower rear would tuck them in more. I have a similar setup
