You dont need mods at all for the rear. I have 22x9.5's in the rear and can lay body on them, its the fronts you're gonna have a problem with. Also, depending how low you're gonna go, the rear tires will rub on the back side quarter panel where the bumper meets the panel (right by the chrome trim) And so far I've only found that the Pirelli P-Zero Neros are the ONLY tires that will fit up front without rubbing the steering knuckle. I had to grind the knuckle AND put spacers to clear 9.5's and thats running 245/30's on there. I believe if you go down to a 25 series tire, you can get away with the rubbing, of course depending on offset.
