I think another problem you have is you have the same size rubber on all four corners, but in the pictures your rear wheels are definitely wider then your front wheels. The problem comes into play because you're trying to stretch the same size tire on a wider rim, thus making the sidewall of those rear tires shorter.

I will use my wheels and tires for example. I am able to run 35 series tires all around, but I am running 285/35's on the rear and 255/35's on the front. This gives the staggered setup the right look because the 35 series rear runs a taller sidewall due to the 285 width.

for sure, your running 35% of 285 vs me running 245's all around with an equal amount of sidewall percentage. The diameter of the wheels is what i am question more so than the height of the sidewall. im gonna give the spring mount mod a shot and im sure like what was said before, the reduced gap between the fender and wheel/tire will give the optical allusion of evenness.

I know what your saying man, i am not in the business of dumping money into this car more than the wheels and making it sit right. Other than that i have no other real mods beside the ipod hook up. my car only has about 30K miles on it due to the fact that i ride my zx10r almost everywhere almost all the time. thanks for all the advice guys, ill keep everyone updated.
