Looks awesome the way it is. Doesn't even need wheels. This is probably gonna be my next mod if I decide to keep mine.

^You'll love it if you decide to do it! Can't believe I waited so long to drop mine. Should have been the first thing I did.

You're going to love them... I'd like to run some spacers too, but I've read so many stories of things going wrong and it just has me worried. I have no personal experience with spacers so I don't know any better? I figured you just bolt them on and call it good... but there must be something you can mess up or else there would be no reason people have so many issues.

I personally would not want to use spacers as I too have heard some horror stories.

If you decide to get aftermarket wheels, just buy them with the offset that you want (if possible) so you can avoid using spacers

Definitely going to get aftermarket wheels with correct fitment, I was referring to spacing out the stockies. I will be keeping the stock 18's for at least a year or so until the tires need to be replaced and it bums me out seeing how sunk in they are.
