did you paint the center caps on your wheels or did you find somewhere that was selling them?
i like the look with spacers. its difficult to tell since the front wheels are turned but did you put spacers on the front also?

Thanks for the replies,
I have painted the center caps by myself. actually, I have that idea from one fellow forum members picture.
I have stock width in the front, but I ll add spacer into front too. But I dont have idea about which thickness for front. 1.25" maybe.
Narrow look at the rear was bothering me soo much, It helped a lot. Also it seems rear suspension is little softer, but no problem at handling.

You might be right about that. I'm not towing for now. But I ll keep that in my mind 
The place I live has heavy traffic, and narrow streets in some parts of downtown, towing is not practical here.
Imwaiting for some parts t switch to a posi unut, then I ll inspect the spacers, studs etc. for any visible damage ...
