ehhhregartless, I'm definitely liking the direction my wheels are going, I think I saw too many pics of triple steps and slant lips when I was looking up double step wheels. I think the face of the wheel being front mounted helps too.
Also, made a little more progress on the car tonight. Temporarily swapped over a front hub to test fit a wheel.
Everything looks good for clearance so far (or at least as expected) so I'm going to check a few more things and get some powder coat samples ordered to make some color decisions.
