Looks pretty good in my opinion, I don't care for the huge 22"+ wheels.

I am not a big fan of lowered trucks, but yours has the right wheel and tire combo for sure, looks really good.

From the angle of the pic it looks like I would have went with slightly more sidewall in my tire but the rims and stance are both excellent!

I had actually had slightly taller tires on it and even after rolling the fenders still only left a very small amount of room and with suspension travel would have cut the tire so went with a smaller tire size

Hard to be exact on drop since I had a few issues with DJM on parts
Started as a 4/6 drop. I couldn't get a 3in drop spring that was actually 3in for the front so used a 2in drop spring and cut about 1/2 a round off. Used the flip kit in rear with a 1in drop shackle.

I think it looks awesome. I am not a fan of big rims with thin sidewalls but you have found a good balance. I like it sitting low.

I like it, clean and not flashy at all. Classy looking ride.
