It looks good the way it is, you shouldn't lower my car any more. LOL

it doesnt look good .. quite the opposite of aggressive..

you need to

lower the front about 3/4" , and dial in a degree of negative camber...
lower the rear about 1/2" , add about a half degree of negative camber

remove the amber reflectors on the front bumper, and the car will look much better


after that, put a proper brake system to fill in the empty space

if you have a spacer on the front wheels take them off

Do you know what the offsets are on these wheels?
And, have you used any spacers?

Also, you said the rears are 12" what about the fronts?
What width are they?

Thanks guys, I am going to try lowering the car; hopefully, the tires will tuck in more. Not sure about the offset. I am trying to get the info from I-Forged. The fronts are 19x8.5 on 235/35/19 PS2s.

beware of lowering your car with aggressive offsets, it may start rubbing

I think it looks good. If you lower it more you're probably going to have rubbing issues but you could always try it for awhile and see what happens.

fitment is good, lower it down a bit more and they will pull in on the tops.
