Nice choice of bumper/sides. Before you spend the $$ for a tune you'd be better off completing the breather mods first, spacer...exhast and HFCs.

car looks fine but you definitely need the 30-35mm spacers on the rear and 30mm up front. they seem a little more sunk in then stock

We aren't questioning the drop but you should get spacers to push those rims further. Out so they aren't hiding inside the wheel wells

i can tell that your rear fenders are not rolled so i would suggest getting that done before you attempt to put spacers on there

what are your wheel/tire specs?

Offsets are probably in the 40ish range. However, if you don't know the offsets and if you didn't have plan on spacers, I wouldn't suggest you do it. While we won't like the look of your car with the fenders eating the wheels like that (and it'll look WAY worse after your kit/skirt selection), there aren't a lotta places in NY that roll fenders without charging an arm and a leg. It least not in the Western/Central area. good luck with all that though

Money isnt the problem at all.. can you suggest me good spacers for my car? Is the 30mm in the front and 35mm in the rear as suggested previously a good idea?

those are some really weak wheels so yeah you'll need at least 20mm front and 25mm rear to look decent...and i agree that with that kit its gonna look horrible if you keep it the way it is

Will 20/25 front/rear make my car look like its stock?
Cause I dont want my wheels to pop out TO much, i rather it be at stock area
