I like the wheels, but you sincerely need a drop!
Was it hard to fit 235's in the rear and 215's in the front? I'm planning to get 225's front and 245/255's in the rear so..
Guess you rolled you fenders and use spacers?

front: 215/45 - sidewall 96.8 mm
reaer: 235/40 - sidewall 94.0 mm difference 2.8 mm GOOD

front: 215/45 - diameter 625.3 mm

front: 225/40 - diameter 611.8 mm
