I reckon a snow plow would probably do the same thing :troll:
Except that's front to rear balance, and not side to side. :cheeky:

Car looks pretty clean as is though!

By the look of it those rims fit because the FTO is standard height, you may have a bit of rubbing if you go for a lower suspension setup.

BTW, rims look good, well done. :D
