I think replace your tires and you'll be good to go. Those look stretched to point of almost not fitting on the bead. What size wheels, and tires (and are they Falkens) are you if you don't mind me asking?The rear wheels are 20x10 and the tires are Falken452's 275/30
I just feel like when I look at my car it looks like a girl with a muffin top :/ And like I said I have had 3mm on b4 and they were fine but i just couldnt tell a difference. Do you think if I sacrifice some of my drop and raise the suspension a little, I could fit larger spacers?

You could put a 295 on that rear?

do most of you who's rear wheels are 20x10 run a 295?
It all depends on offsets. What are the offsets of your wheels?

Ahhh, Falkens, well there it is. Falkens for whatever reason are much narrower tires than most others of the same size. You're already stretching by putting a very low profile 275 on 10" wheel, but a Falken 275 is like a 265 in other brand tires. If anything I would replace those rear tires (many seem to be running 285/25/20 or 295/25/20), and lose a bit of that drop....but then again, I'm old. 
Nice ride, though.
