Ugh.. I think bigger wheels should be on your priority instead of a drop.. the tires look bigger than the wheel.. Did you get 18s with a 45 profile? lol

Once you slap on some tire shine, it will look alright....Nice wheel choice.

looks like you're riding on winter tires. Maybe they'd look better if they were shinned up.

It has everything to do with width, you have 110mm of sidewall on a 275 whereas you would only have 98mm on a 245....

Ok, im gonna be honest. You need a drop and some 19 inch rims... or atleast some 18's with less meat.

The wheels somewhat look like the OEM 17's with a deeper dish/lip on them.

If it makes you happy, then I guess that's all that matters!
