I think they are a little too big for my taste, but thanks for sharing, and welcome to Clublexus!

Wow

Like to see it after the drop. I think if you go 2" on all corners, it'll look real good.

I wish I could drop it that low. But my rims are 22", I would have to do more modification

Cant wait to see it a little lowered. I've always thought my 20s looked a tad small, maybe 21s would be just right for me. I thought 22s would look obnoxiously big but yours fit the wheel wells pretty nicely. Not sure about the ride quality on those rubberband tires though!

Thats it? Tuck the rear up past the rim, and tuck the front tire halfways. Then it will look good.
