Thanks man, I really appreciate it! The specs are 18x9.75+20 (R), 18x8.75+20 (F). Rear tire is 225/40, front tire is 215/40.

I really wanted to go with the 9.75" in the front too, but I got cold feet and went the safe route since I knew the 8.75" would fit the front without rubbing.

Honestly...Your cold feet paid off BIG TIME in this case!

John, leave the car as it sits now. Everything is clean and flows well.

plastidip on raingaurds would make you side windows appear too small IMO. The wheel color matches your WDP perfect.

If you get bored, take moar photos and post them here!

Nemo, probably time for a new avatar since you have much nicer pictures above.

K1X...I made a DIY, but honestly, what I used to show WHERE to cut was the dents that the UCA made when it hit. You should be able to make out where it hit without a problem.

thanks man
Take the wheel off and look from under the car. You should see a dent from where it is knocking . Drill a small lead hole through the center of the dent from the bottom up. Now you can cut out a circle from the engine bay using the leadhole as a guide
