Welcome and very nice job so far!

If it was me, I'll order two 10.5" for the fronts instead of spacers. The extra concaveness would look amazing.

Should have got 10.5" fronts. Cast wheel is bad enough on it's own...spacers will just make them worse.

The one major issue I see with the set up is the fact the tire size is way off... if you wanted to run the 255 set up the right sizes were 225-35-20 front and 255-30-20, you're running a much taller tire in the rear than you are in the front... The rears are 14mm taller than the fronts and they are stretched less than half of what the rears are. When you run staggered wheels you don't run the same series tire front to rear. Tires sizes work like this the first number 255 means the tire is 255 milimeters wide and the sidewall is 35% as tall as it is wide the last number is the rim size ie 20. So if you're running a wider tire in the rear you drop a size in series to even up the tire height where you kept the same so the rears are taller than the fronts... Also the fronts look a bit more sunk in than a +35 offset or you've got a ton of negative camber in the front atleast from the angle those pics show... No one with Vossens runs spacers we order the right offset to cover the issue when we bought them. All a spacer does is change your offset. The only people running spacers are people on stocks wanting to flush them up... Just my 2 cents...
