Yeah.. Kinda and from inside.. What I'm mainly concerned about its the gap between the brake light and the window. Mine seems to have quite a gap which allow the sun to create shade.. However u can only see it from inside cuz I have tinted window

you can change rim size, but the tire sidewall is smaller, to keep the same stock diameter, but yeah, can't go wrong with an alignment.

Put a Gibson axle back on my car today... I think it sounds pretty decent, great idle sound... A little drony though... Will try to post a video in the next couple days.

It depends on the overall tire diameter... You can go to a bigger wheel but keep about the same size in height by juggling the numbers... As long is the new tire size is about 28.6" the speedo will read about the same.

You went from a 28.6" tire to a 27.1" tire, which would throw the speedo off.

If I want to wear it often I need it resized. But I love the garnet center.
