That looks great. What size are the tires front and rear? I always liked the rear wheels to be deeper. Mine are as well.

Slight rubbing in the front if I hit a bump too hard, but I agree. Thanks!

FYI to anyone who wants a 10 inch wide wheel in the rear, the Parking brake line in the right-rear will need to be tied down closer to the control arm.  It will rub your wheel/tire and cause light damage/scratches and make a god awful noise.  I used zip ties and trimmed them up, and my wheel clears the parking brake line by about an inch.  Can't see the zip ties from the outside of the car either, so no one can tell your ride is rigged up :D

Looks great!  Was eyeing those wheels for my TC, but need something with more offset for the front of course.  Dang ...
