Going to step down to 19's more than likely. Specs I was told I could run based off current setup:
19x9.5 +25 , 19x10.5 +30 - standard fitment
19x9.5 +18 HP front, and 19x10.5 +18 SL - would sit about where the current wheels sit.
Regards,
Robert

Hey Mark,
Glad your kit arrived in good condition! I was actually eyeballing the same kit I sold you but with it already having a TTE lip I'm hard pressed to switch it up haha.

Plan to go through all the DIY threads this coming weekend and see what I can mess with in my free time. Tried the Sub Woofer hack but mine won't do it 
Out at my parents ranch this weekend.

I live in Justin, like 2 minutes from the track. Was living in Haslet for about a year until I found this smoking deal on a 4/2/2 house I just bought.

First mod is in 
. Small but was something that bothered me lol. Each time I had to enter MVP or my home driveway I had to hit it at a hard angle to not scrape I would hear a nice creaking coming from my roof due to the flex. Hit up my buddy at Tunedparts and low and behold he had a solution. These are their Rigid Bars for the 2GS/SC430. Will be installing them this weekend and will report back my impression. If all goes well MVP will be carrying these for anyone interested!
Benefits:
Eliminates Wheel Hop(don't make enough power for this to be an issue but good for when I go GTE later this year)
Reduces Chassis Flex
Made of Billet Aluminum so no chance of rust like the stock stamped steel brackets
