Not a big fan of 20's on a mid size car but if I was running that combo it needs about 1" more in back and 2-2.5" in front

My vote would be to bring it down some more. I think you need to tuck the tire a bit in the wheelwell . I would come down at least 1.5".

I agree, it needs to come down about another inch in the rear. I have a 72 Chevelle and run 20's on all for corners. Here are a few pics of my ride height. I wanted the ledge of the fender to go past the top of the wheel a little bit. Me personally, I like the 20 on our cars....at least a 19" anyway. I think our cars are too big for 17's and 18's.

Thanks for the compliment bro. Take your time and do it right. Funny you mentioned "part II" because this is my 2nd rebuild as well.
