No need to apologize, chrome on white looks good.
I would have lowered it first.

theres no way those are 20s with the correct tire size. those look more like 18s with an extremely small tire.

Not 20's nor 18's.

They are 19's. 19x9 +44 to be exact, wrapped around 245/35. Thinking when it's time for new tires gonna try 255/40 or something taller.

Hey guys and gals, I finally got my wheels, suspension, and fender shave taken care of. Here are some pics. Car is filthy right now so I apologize in advance. Let me know what you think.

Specs are:
Work Meister S1 2pc
20x9.5 +38 front - 225/35/20
20x10.5 +38 rear - 265/30/20

Suspension:
Tanabe Sustec Pro 5

Shaved about .5 inch from the rear fenders and grinded the bumper-to-fender bracket down. Tucked the front fender liner above the tabs. No rubbage in the rear. Minor rubbing in the front when wheels are turned and applying the brakes. No rub on full lock.
