Fronts 245/30-20 & Rears 275/30-20.

It is slightly sunk, but only because it doesn't have moar low. It was test fitted to be flush as it is in my picture before all the mounted pics. It is a project to be flush and will get sorted accordingly.

Thanks to all those that enjoy the pics

I think your slightly confused...when you go lower it will be more sunk, not more flush.

Hey Mo, your new rims look sick!! But needs to drop about 2-3" ;P
The guys on the boards here standard of flush is literally within a couple mm of the fender. I'm affraid speedaddic is right, the more you lower your vehicle the more the wheels will camber in which you may need 5-15mm spacer to be truly "flush" depending on the amount of camber.

This.

Some of us define flush a little differently.

2 inches lower, 15-20 mm spacer, fender roller, and stretched tires and you ll be there. Good luck with the project.
