Looks like they will be pretty flush in the front, look nice on that car, maybe I should have bought them

Just add some spacers in the rear to bring the wheels out to the fender, then drop

First you should roll your rear fenders after the drop, then just measure

Wow, thats pretty serious bro. Personally, they're not my style of wheel, I like the wheels on the black one better. but of course it'd look better dropped.

Springs are under $200 (under $100 used)......if that's out of your budget, then modding your car (including wheels) at all is probably a bad idea. Just sayin'.

I just don't understand why you wouldn't repair your lower control arm before buying wheels on credit?

Your not seriously suggesting that he install springs on stock struts are you? You should know better than that, glad he does
