1. Rims are dope.
2. Why would he rub? he's a 4x4 now.
3. I think with those offsets, no pulling will get it right. I'd look into a wide body kit. I assume you are going in for paint some day anyways with the condition of your front and rear bumpers.
4. Not sure which rotors those are, but if they are cheap ebay style ones, expect major rust issues in about 30 days. I have them now, they suck. Installed them back in August of 2010 and they look terrible. Not to mention they have already started to warp and I drive like a 70 year old lady. If you painted them with high temp heat spray, that will be ok...for a while. But they will find a way to rust through.
