I'll echo what others have said about the rear. Appears to be very close to stock. Drop it another inch and you'll be tucking more whitewall, and that's what ya need, maximum tuck.

Front looks like you could come down a bit more, but with the rails on the fender it might not be a good idea. My front is about 1/2" to 3/4" lower than what you're showing.

Ditching the dogdish on the front rim is a big improvement, also, imo. It will give the 16" rim a whole different look. Less cluttered. Might try that (or check the Deluxe pics thread for examples).

And i'll echo you ElSupremo...

Yes, that is a nice cheap way to clean up the front wheel. That hubcap is HIDEOUS!!! When you take that bowl off you will need a new spacer if im not mistaken....

I agree with everyone on the rear-slam it. But as far as the hub cap goes, I think thats part of the whole 50's retro look that the deluxe is about.ELVIS STYLE BABY!

I think it looks ok. I want to drop mine too. Just cant find a 18 inch www tire for the rear. The front I have no problem with finding a 21inch www. I just think it would all look better in the rear with a bigger rim to hide the white then drop it as low as you can go.
