18x8.5 +44 235 40R 18
18x9.5 +38 255 35R 18

Didn't measure before and after but I think drop is about 1.5 inches. Started out level all the way around but it just didn't look right. We raised the back up just enough so it ended up with a slight rake which also gave me a liitle breathing room to be sure the tires would not rub in back. Overall I'm very happy with the end results.

Once you get them installed I'm sure you'll love it. I couldn't believe how good it felt on the drive home. I was actually on the fence for a long time between just springs vs coilovers, now I'm sure glad I went with the KWs.

Just finished installing eibach sport lowing springs. It's too dark to see the results but I think I'll be happy.

What reverse/rear fog light is that? I've never seen it before. Looks pretty good though
