Glad to see your not going with 20s. All wheel no tire looks rediculous IMO. Any wheels in mind?

Procomp and Centerline have a set I like,I also considered widening my rears but nobody around me does that and the cost of shipping to and from plus the widening add up to a new set.

There is a shop local to me that will widen them for about $100 a pop. Wheel Works in Florence NJ. They do top-notch work.

Can't imagine shipping would be more than $50, since you're staying east of the Mississippi (price-point breaker on shipping for us east coast guys).
