Very nice work! Makes my CV swap look like ... well, you know.

Just wondering why the trouble to narrow the front end? I left mine full width and used deeper backspacing 17x8 front wheels and still came up as narrow as the stock front with a 15x7 wheel.

Using a shallow backspacing on a front end designed for the deep backspacing might change the scrub radius pretty drastically.

From the looks of your work, you probably already know all of that, and how it will behave, but I was just curious...
