Took some adjusting here and there but I finally got them mounted up so everything clears no matter what. Not sure if I'll keep em on or not. Not sure I totally like the modern look over the stock rallys. Rallys are 235/60/14s the beamer wheels are 245/40/17.

Thanks. No, haven't been to the track since last year. Just been trying to stay ahead of the bills lately. Might make it up to Thunderhill by the end of the summer.

I seen you jumping on Hwy 80 a couple weeks back the car looked good, I work off Richmond Prkwy. You should think about signing up for this one https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?80808-Track-Day!-Buttonwillow-NCRC-Sept.-17-18
it would be a little longer drive than T-hill but it looks like a large group has signed up already. Im thinking of running down for one day to spectate.

I like the subtle satin/brushed finish. Because there's not much bling the wheels don't detract too much from the body lines of the car. Lookin good!

Either set looks pretty good. But the car has some backwards rake action going on. would look better if the front was a bit lower.

Jeff70, Dude, Buttonwillow is aways!! After getting AAA'd home from Laguna I'd have to opt for a trailer to do that one. NCRC is definately the least expensive option I've seen. And they run a pretty good schedule. What are you running?
If my car were anywhere near stock I would keep the rallys but since you'd be hard pressed to find anything stock on it anymore I feel like I have pretty much a free hand with what I want to do.
Mr.Andy, It may be a tad bit lower in the back but they actually came with even more backward rake from the factory. I can barely get around town now. It would be miserable if it was any lower for sure.

Instead of lowering the front, why not just raise the rear a tad to level it out? I think both wheels look good as well. What suspension is in the rear?

RAISE!!!!! Sacralege.
No, I'm ok with the way it sits. I've had it higher and lower and I'm good with it now. It's got the HD stock springs in the rear with KYBs and the slide-a-links and panhard rod.
