Do your front wheels have enough backspace to clear the fender lip if you air it out farther?
Looks like they are close to the edge of the fender.
Thanks Keith! I like how the wheels look centered now too. The PB 1" forward LCA's did a good job by themselves. I may go with their 1" forward uppers later, but for now these are awesome! I think Nate said the lowers by themselves push the wheels forward about 1/2" to 3/4".

As for the wheels, I'm not sure if they have enough backspace or not. The PO put them on. They're 22x9.5 U2 55S-A wheels with +13mm offset which is about 5.75" backspacing. The 2nd pic is looking up a bit at the fender, so you can see the tire is actually sitting on the inner fender, just inside the bolts. Likely not inset enough to air it out more than that. Does that answer your question?
