I wouldn't raise the rear.  Looks nice and low. 

I am curious how it would look with the fron end lowered.  Just make sure you don't bottom out.  Around here it gats pretty bumpy with the pot holes...

I may lower the front just a tad.

I like the gap or how much tire showing for the front to match that of the rear.  No likey when there's more gap on the front than the rear.  My $0.02.

Looks great BTW.

Looks great.  I just ordered a set of 15 X 8 with that tire for the back of mine.
