Good to know since i have a 2012 1LT automatic with 18" factory rims and tires. Was thinking of going aftermarket wheels and tires but staying 18". Is 18" better for performance and rwhp or going something bigger say 20"? I'm thinking smaller is better since less weight and mass to move around.

You're definitely going to have a lot more performance tire options in a 18"

Smaller wheel bigger tire to fill the same spot. You can get 18s and a good properly sized tire. You have to factor in the weight of the tire. Or you could go light weight 20s with the proper tire, either way the right set up is out there, plenty of choices.

Thought I would show my custom brackets (very simple look) my installer came up with to get rid of the bumper support to create more air flow through the intercooler.
