I think it looks good, just looks high because of the tires.If you throw some 235/45/17s on there, itll fill in that gap ALOT better.. I LOVE the way those wheels look though... different

looks good, but you should punch those wheels out a little closer to flush. The offset of the wheels could use some work.

GLE's don't have fog lights?

Mine has those cut-outs, but it's a GXE. It also has the chrome door handles.

(Looks really good btw )

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, the tires really don't fill the gap that well but being 17 years old, I really couldn't pass up the deal I got on those tires. Everything I do is budget oriented lol. I got those tires for $60 a piece mounted and balanced, so they're gonna have to do until they're worn out. Wheel spacers are the next thing I've got on my list, so far I've only spent $900 total thanks to some deals locally and on here.

Here's a picture with the stockers from right after I got the lowering kit on.

yea on 17s you should run 215-50-17, 225-50-17 or 235-45-17 depending on offset.

40 sidewalls should be for 18s

Looks good, thicker tires will help fill in some of that wheel gap.

Hahaha. Like I said, 17x7's. Bought the wheels cheap with some tires, tires got worn and the fronts didnt match the backs, got to the point where I couldn't drive on them and the deal popped up on these tires. If I could afford anything different, I would get them. If I wouldn't have gotten pulled over for my tint and received other pretty yellow tickets, I definitely would be sitting on some 225-45/17's. Sucks being 17 and unemployed.

Hahaha, I am. It's hard to get a job above minimum wage until you're 18, which I have under a month to go. Then I'm gonna use the Max as my workhorse $40 a night in tips to deliver ****, yessir!
