    do you think it would be worth it to make some brake duct holes in the splitter so you can use the wider wheels/tires?

          Mine are silver, but I've seen the Nickel ones in person and they are amazing.

              I run a 1/4" spacer on the front and my 275 Hoosiers clear the strut, but they do rub the inner fender at full lock both directions. I think I had a 1/8" spacer in originally and the tires cleared the strut, but I had some issues with the outer tie-rod hitting the inside of the rim on my old 15X10 wheels.

                  I'm glad that your wheels will match now! (been lurking the thread while searching for a BG of my own) Excellent stuff so far!
