Great thread with tons of examples. Great choice on the SSR’s. They’ll look great!

Thank you sir, I searched that thread but couldn't find anyone running +16 on the front so I posted in there. Hoping I can run these, one of my favorite wheels!

Got them mounted and dropped it all the way down. Now I feel like 18s are too small lol. If I keep them I have to put bigger tires on the back. What do you guys think?

I can now. I’m not sure what the issue was. I think the wheels look good but the stretch on the tires is making it look small. But it doesn’t look bad.

In my opinion, I believe 19s is the perfect size. But those wheels are kill'n it regardless!
