Well if you are gunna run that same size tire then about 1 more inch front and back will look dope. Your car looks hard as **** on those fat-fives though.

i live in beautiful california where everything is perfect and i still wouldn't rock it that low. i call that the "high school drop." unless of course my car was purpose built, not a daily driver like yours obviously is.

I think it looks fine...though I'm not into the totally slammed looked it probably could go about another inch or inch and a half with the slips on there. Just my opinion though, i think 4 inches is way too low especially dealing with scraping and ride quality it sucks

^^ Those look like 16's to me^^

those are 16's most definately. if you expect 15's to look anything like that you will be sadly dissapointed. polished 15" slips look very small because of that nice lip they have.

your 15" fat fives will seem bigger looking than 15" polished slips...
