i already have the 22s and 30 series tires and it rides better then stock,because the tires are nitto invo and performes better then the rta's i did the wheel calculator and they are only .12 of a inch different then the factory 19s so i think im good

the exhaust does stick out 2in from the stock exhaust but that was the look i wanted so you know its there,at low speed it feels stock its really not to loud but on the highway from 60-90mph it has a good feel lots of pull feels faster also,i got the borla cause i got a great deal on it and to me it was worth it but if you want loud then its not for you but to me its want i was looking for so im real happy with it.

i tried to listen to my fellow members and did the grill black,you can still see the chrome factory grill it was getting late so i didn't have time to paint it but it will be fixed this week.

i plan on it the only thing i had to do was paint the factory grill black because the one i have goes over it and sense i painted it black you could see the chrome behind the black grill,its now fixed and looks alot better,

an aggressive 20" fit is the same as a weak fitted 22"...like a 8.5 +35 to +40 range offset.

22" is cool don't get me wrong, but in many ways it's un-needed weight. Your lookin at about 35 lbs a wheel and let's not forget the much more expensive tires in 22".

if your on a eibach drop, u should consider these: 20x9.5 +35 all around. U can maybe get 20x8.5 and 20.9.5 staggered, but not 20x9.5 all around.
