Looks nice. Love the fat tires. What are the specs on the front wheels/tires? (Offset/width)

Thanks guys yea I will knock the headlights out this weekend, and yea the bumper is not perfect but If I shaved the repair all the way down to original demnsions I was afraid any flex would crack it again so I left it a little thick. The rims I got an amazing deal on less than $500 for all four new in boxes, so blingy is ok for now. The front rims are 19x8.5 +34offset 235/35/19 tires.

Looks good. Have a bodyshop clear up your headlights for about $40.

Those rear tires are growing on me. Do you have any rubbing issues?

No, no issues at all but I did trim the rear fenders as suggested in about every "what tire and rim size can I fit on my car thread out there". The trimming was easy with a dewalt cut disc on a angle grinder and being slow and careful. It was cold enough not to scorch the surronding paint and made a very clean cut.
