Here's similar views with my stock wheels.

Here's a close up of the 255/30ZR20 PS2 on the 20X9.5 Stern Beast Wheel. I believe it's an optical illusion. I can just get my thumb in between the tire and fender at the front of the back wheels. Two years of driving, no rubbing front or rear!

You know Boiler, looking at the pics, it looks like it IS sitting up higher. I'm running 19's in front and 20's in the back. Overall tire diameters are very close to stock but sidewalls are a bit shorter. Aesthetically, it looks like the car would look better lowered about 1 inch in front and 1.5 in the back. Just don't want to be scraping the belly over speed bumps and potholes!

Would look even better 1-2 inches lower, but what doesn't?

With my DCAI the grille is only held on by the two top bolts because I couldn't get my fingers under to lock the bottom tabs. You're saying you relocated them though? By cutting new ones?

I have rebent the grille slightly - to get more arc and set it back a little more for depth, shortened the tabs to accomodate the recessed grille, and bent them a little till I could use the mounting points.
On the bottom I used zip ties for a few months, tieing the bottom of the grill through the small 'lip' on the bumper cover at the rear, and over time, it ended up contouring the grille and bumper cover to look a lot better, I cut the zip ties weeks ago, but the change is permanent.
As I said, a lot of 'massaging'

There is the beginning of the 10 page thread, it has all the info you need. If you like fast, fun driving, the mountains, cars, good people, and some drinks in the evening, you will have the time of your life
