    So I am thinking of 20" wheels....will my lowering kit get in the way? I am thinking I will prob need to go w/ 18's or 19' cause of the drop.......any one have experience with this yet?

    you will be fine with all those sizes, but you have to stay around the same height of the factory tires, which is 27.26" tall. we run the FRPP K springs, with 18's and 295/45/18 on the rear, but we wanted a taller tire, and we have no rubbing, or clearance issues at all, even with people in the backseat...

    So...no to the 20's.....unless I want rubber bands......that is kind of what I thought....I am fond of the 18's....that is what I have on my 01....its just that the newer body styles have bigger fender openings for bigger tires....

    I have the pro-kit with my 20's and to be perfectly honest, I could have installed the Sportlines... Plenty of room:nice:

    Front Tires are 245/35/20
    Rear Tires are 275/30/20...Toyo Makes a 315/35/20 that I will be ordering soon, the 275's stretch to fit the wheel.

    That is the CDC Agressive Chin Spoiler and I get maybe a little more then 4 inches of clearance which is plenty for my Daily Driver.

    I can measure it later if you really need an exact measurment.

    Do you have to take slopes at an angle or can you still go head on? I have some what of a steep driveway and I am worried about hitting that chin spoiler on it.....

    I can take most speed bumps straight on, my driveway has a gutter that is pretty steep and I hit it at a slight angle. I think it would probably make it straight though, not going to try it. I've driven lowered cars for years, the only problem you'll have is driving down rough roads at high speeds...and Armadillos.:rlaugh:

    I too am running the prokit, wish I could run sportlines. My rears are a 285/30/20 and are still flush to the wheel well opening. Just that the bodykit is so low I can't even attempt to run sportlines.
