and ill take a few more pics tomorrow morning.
@ K3lv--yea was a little odd, but i guess thats how they got the wheels to always have the concave look at anyway size/offset. but its a little different so i dont mind. ima see if i can avoid pulling tomorrow morning by just taking off the 3mm spacer in the rear. if it clears just fine i think that will give me what i need to stop the rubbing in back. thanks again man for the info and feedback through out this whole process.

Wow they look better then I expected. It looks great espcially with just a drop from springs and it sits flush.
Ah I'm jealous lol, I can't wait till I get my rims and drop my car. I just have to be patient lol.
But like everyone else said get a side view bro.

OOOKAAAAY!!! the people have spoken!!! here is your side pic. enjoi
i just got done pulling the fenders just a tiny bit, and re-rolled the fenders, now the only rub i have is in the front front the plastic inner liner. i should have went with 215/40's instead of 215/45's oh well, ill figure something out to have it not rub so bad, maybe sand it down? well see....

for the pulling, i only had to bring it out just a tiny bit, not like K3lv's monster +20 17x9's lol. so i just did the phone book method first, but just ended up using a wedge (more like a rubber lever in a way) to apply under the fender lip where i needed it, jacked up one wheel at a time, stuck it under the fender,lowered the jack a little, used a heat gun and just pushed down. the oval end of the tool pushes the fender out as i applied pressure to it downwards, giving me just the clearance i needed. now to just figure out if i can somehow grind down the plastic where the tire rubs on in the front. ill think of something.
