I went with 18" 0mm offset on a 305/70/18 cooper STT Maxx, 0 trimming an I could still go with a slightly bigger tire .

Ended up replacing all factory 7 speakers with Kicker powered by a Pioneer 400 watt amp hidden behind the CD player (which was plug an play) . For the Subwoofer I ran the single 10" Pioneer box with the matching Shollow mount Pioneer 10 that fits behind the rear seats that allows the seat to still lock up an out of the way powered by a Rockford Fosgate 500.1 amp . Only wires that were cut were the tweeters an had to move over the center speaker connecter to the new speaker . Everything else was plug an play other than power wire for the Rockford amp. I built a amp rack out of some plywood an attached it to the box an I used the carpet removed from behind box to carpet amp rack to match interior . Over all for $650 for everything an 5 to 6 hrs of my time it was well worth it .

Installed the westin hdx brush guard last week basically had to tear the whole front end apart to install it . Took me about 3 hrs with 45 mins of that on the phone with Westin Customer service cause I was having bracket fitment issues . But I like the overall look makes it meaner looking. Next Will be the Whipple stage 2 with Longtubes an highflow cats. Waiting for Whipple to get there tune together an for the kit to go on sale as well

Got my omega tune last week , man it's a different animal its chirps 2nd an 3rd gear on 35's . I'm running 50/50 on 87/E85 . Got another 10 to 15 whp on the table if I run my E85 Content to 65% or over . Which I did other day have not data logged running the new 65% E85 ratio . But can tell a increase in power and mileage is not effected much cause I was only avaraging 14 mpg hand calculated to begin with .

I personally have never been a fan of full brush guards... But there is something about your set up that just looks really nice!

I have an ‘18 SCREW 2.7 4x4 on order and I ’m contemplating one.. and a rear bumper guard too

I’m sick of getting rear ended and people driving in front of me and me hitting them and all sorts of idiotic driving behavior. Ive been the victim in several low speed accidents recently.

Seriously... it’s not my driving! Just bad luck.

Im done having to drive a rental car while my vehicle is in the shop.

im ready to simply replace the guards and save the body work.
