there would be a bigger space inbetween the wheel and the fender..if you drop it i think it would look sweet, but i dont think it will be a huge deal

Yeah, thought about that, and thinking only a couple mph, should not be a big deal, just have to watch it on cruise

mines not lowered, yet haha....and going down to 55 wont throw off the speedo, i went from 225-60-16 to 235-55-17 and no harm done to the speedo, it only gets thrown off if its a pretty big change.

not tryin to put ya down justin. =]
