New wheels and tires!
Next up, the stock wheels just weren't wide enough for me and the stance was just kinda lacking. I decided to go with the American Racing Crossfire wheels. 10.5" wide rim in the rear with a 40mm offset, 315-35-20 tire and a 9" wide rim in the front with a 20mm offset, 275/45/20 tire. I choose Toyo Proxes sport A/S because I was on a bit of a budget. They are very loud, and have been a nightmare trying to get them balanced. A word of advice... don't cheap out on tires! I have regretted it, and will be getting Michelins in the future.
Overall I stuck with stock size tire diameter because I didn't want to deal with any calibration issues with the speedometer being off. I shaved off approximately 16 lbs with this setup. Which was a nice bonus considering how much I sized up the width of the tires. The old rims and tires were 61lbs each in the front and 64lbs each in the rear and the new rims and tires are 57lbs each in the front and 61lbs each in the rear.
