I know everyone wants to know if the wheels stick out in the rear so I took a rear side profile shot. They actually sit inside the top fender line just a hair. The front tires do not rub with the wheels turned completely.

Thanks Bucky,

No I don't mind. $1,265 for all four wheels and $1,350 for all four tires. Yes the tires cost more than the wheels. Crazy!! :scratch:

How is the ride? Can you feel a leaf in the road? I'm just wondering what that combo of wheels/tires and springs did.

Wow! That wheel/spring combo is great at giving the car a nice stance...

I must also ask how the ride is?

Wow... nice wheels. The whole thing looks fantastic (a little lower than I would want mine, but still fantastic). You did great!

I am very pleased with these springs, I would highly recommend them. This combo pretty much put this car on rails, literally and it still has a nice ride quality.

backspacing.... +45mm in the rear with a 10"
rim and +35mm in the front with a 9" rim.

Yes I did have to get an alignment. The guy who lowered my car is a ford mechanic with 20 years of suspension experience. He put my front end back to the exact factory specs. He did some kind magic.... to be honest with you I really don't know exactly what he did. It was more than just an alignment.

Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback. I would not have gotten all this done if it wasn't for all the information on this site that pointed me in the right direction.
