DSE Suspension with Lexani LX15 Wheels PICS

DSE 1.5" drop, Lexani LX15 20x8.5, 20x10 wheels, Nitto Invo 275/40r20 fronts 315/35r20 rears. Im thinking I went too wide with the rear tires. Im gunna have to get some 305's or 295's so they dont stick out as far. Im gunna paint the groove around the wheel victory red to match the car. Let me know what you guys think!

I wonder if the tires will get shredded a little bit from a hard launch or when you mash the throttle from the car squatting? I had problems with that in my Trans Am.
Otherwise, looks bad arse!

looks good. rubbing issues would the only concern(bumps, rear passengers, trunk load, etc.)..red trim FTW(blacked out would look good too). where did you get the springs done?

Looks great as is, other than the rear tire width, I think you're right... just a bit too wide.

Rear tire`s "too wide", how is that possible?

I would hit those mufflers with a shot of black paint or remove, otherwise it looks good as it sits.

Mufflers will be dissappering very soon. The suspension is pretty stiff so i dont think it would actually hit unless something drastic happens. I did the springs myself. 295's will tuck the tires in almost 1/2" so that might be what I do. I was just going with the 315's to prepare for a whipple! Im gunna paint the groove red I think it will darken the wheels a little bit.

A little clarity when you say groove what do you mean exactly?

On the edge of the lip, it looks almost white in the pic but its actually a machined groove.
