Just my 2 cents.

I always look at the different heights of the fender cut outs. On most cars and trucks the front wheel opening is taller in the front than in the rear. If you lower it and give it the ole muscle car rake, a 1" taller rear usually looks the best in my opinion but, it all depends on the vehicle. Some times you may need to go taller than 1" in the rear to fill the fender wells.
With all that said....to each their own. Everyone has their own ideas and views.

A little off topic but still relevant...
If it's a muscle car type build, I like to see a decent sidewall on the rear tires...but that is not the trend of late, it's very popular to run a giant rear wheel with almost no sidewall. I am both old, and old school.
