Good idea ^

I plan on staying a little lowered, approx 20mm from factory. I think 25mm spacer in the rear and nothing up front will match up nice. Possibly go with the front fender flares too

More interested in the boss ride behind that 168 sitting on the rear stand

That's the setup you want.

I assume no negatives, other than some tramlining and cost of tires? No problems with turning that bigger wheel/tire inside the wheel well? No suspension parts getting hit?

Not sure if I’d do that setup again. Looks great, but extra effort in turns, oversteer, and hydroplaning. And accelerated wear on wheel bearings. Decreased braking too..
