Looks good! But since you are on coils, go lower!

It's a DD, I was a lot lower on the factory 18's with a good amount of tuckage.

It has a tiny bit of tuckage which you probably can't see since the top portion of the tires do butterfly in a bit due to stretching. Oh and for some reason while rolling it gives the illusion that it's a lot lower than it is.

I was still deciding between smoked or red...I want to see pics to see which is better. So you're leaning more towards red?

That illusion is call driving on a flat even road. Even with a sligh tilt on the pavement its going to look high on one side, and your driver side will always look lower for some odd reason lolz. If you really want to tuck and not scrape, shave your fenders and it will make a big difference instead of rolling where it will crack your paint.
