Getting A New Body Kit ( Entire Process Detailed )

Looks like they are 20s. But the offsets are very conservative at +45. They'll be recessed in the fenders quite a bit. You could run spacers, something like 20 mm in the front and 30 mm in the back, but that sometimes has its own set of issues like vibrations. Personally, I'd look for a used set of higher quality wheels in the classifieds section.

I am going to check the classified section now. Thanks !

Looking good!!!!
Couldn't you get something like this for the fog lights: http://www.truckmod.com/directpart.a...tnumber=NV501W
Of course you'd have to make sure it was the right size.

A quad exhaust would look soo damn good with that rear..
At sock height you should find wheels at 20x9 and 20x10.5 in the low 30's offset. 245/30 front and 275/30 rear tires if you lower it, i'd say low 20's offset with those tires. If youre not lowering it you can run 35 series instead of 30. Thats assuming youre doing a conservative drop. If you wanna hella flush it out.. I'd shave the rear fenders and roll the front and run 20x9.5 and 10.5 with + 0 offset all around. 225/35 tire up front and 245/35 rear

Let's say you do 9" wheels in the front and 10" in the rear. Look at the chart for 9" wheels. Any of the offsets in yellow will fit up until you hit the green. So you can go as low as +25 offsets without modifying the fenders.
Now look at the 10" wheel row for your rears. You're ok with anything in the green. So you can go as low as +25. Different tire brands will fit differently though, so this is an approximation, but it gives you a good baseline.
I take no credit for this knowledge, by the way. What little I know, I learned from Talwang who helped me figure it out when I bought my wheels.
A little more info while we're on the topic. Typical fender modifications are rolling and shaving fenders. On the bottom of your fenders, there's a metal lip where the fender liner attaches. Rolling your fenders means bending this metal back, giving you a little more room for your tires. It lets you go with lower offsets so you can get more flush. Shaving the fenders means cutting that metal away for the same reason.
