Almost done with the modding

Hi guys - I just finished with my exterior modding (I keep telling myself that). What do you think about my front wheels? My wheel shop was out of the 8.5" fronts so I went 9.5 in the front and 10 in the back.

Also my old wheels are for sale here:

I like the idea of going wide in the front, but seems to be crying for more rubber. The offset also seems to be more agressive than the rear, but it may just be the angle of the shot. Must look great from the side.

What's size tire do you have in the front?

The fronts are 245 ps2. Funny thing is I just installed the eibach pro springs before I took the pic. Hopefully she will settle a bit lower.

The guys who installed my tires destroyed the front right one so they had to replace with a new unit. On the ride home I noticed when I hit 75 the wheel started shaking. They did balance the wheels but I am guessing the shake is from one side being 50% worn and the other being new. What do you guys think? New tire on the other and full rebalance?

Ouch, et20 in the front an et25 in the rear. What wrong with the ride height? Just installed some eibachs before I took the pic, I understand it will settle a bit?

Any suggestions instead of just saying it sucks?

OP your ride looks great. What type of angel eyes are you using. The outer ring looks very uniformly illuminated.
