Unless yuor wheels stock out really far you shouldnt need to get rid of your wheels. I would suggest finding a new installer.

that doesn't sound rite...but if they're offset too much then maybe they might rub...I'd get a 2nd opinion!

Man, If you only lived near me... I'd do all those installs with you and help you out for a free dinner or two....

The header install and CAI are pretty straightforward and should be less than 100 a piece if a shop does it.... Springs are around the same and you should have not a problem in the world with your tires....

Check out your regional forum and see if anyone has done the installs yet.... I help out guys in my region a bit, so maybe there's one of me somewhere near you....
