The rims and tire size works good! 
Just need to find the right height in the rear and i will post a picture!
Struggling abit the to adjust to the right height. It fell alot when i backed out of the shop. haha! So the guys here that are doing it for me will do it again when they get the time.
It clears the rear fenders easy. You can get it pretty low, but if you want the really low tucked look 185/40 would be the best. At the front you can get the fender to tire. Any lower and it will rub. |

Thanks:)
If you turn all the way over it rubs the rim on the inside. |
