Man, honestly if you lift your car it's going to look worse than it already does. Your going to have a 5 inch gap between your tire and the fender. If you can't figure out how to carefully drive your car with the bodykit, then you should just take it off, and put your stock bumpers back on.

I agreed with Jeremy D. Swain , option 2 you can just get coil over and lower it or raise it any time you want.

Then it's a crappy body kit.

What does this have to do with wheels and tires, the subject of this forum?

Not necessarily. The ride height depends on the size of the tire, not the size of the wheel.
