Remove the T-stat housing and the hose. They can be removed and replaced w/o removing the intake. It'll take some patience but it can be done. Worst case scenario, you can loosen the intake bolts enough to give you a bit more room to work, however I have removed and replaced the sensor...

Weld wheels are sweet and you'll have to check the backspacing to make sure there won't be an issue with the brake calipers.
On a different not, I wouldn't do the different sizes. It will look great but will be a pain when it comes time to rotate, either having the wheels look odd having the...

Going to the bigger tires is going to offset your gear ratio. It will effect your odometer as pointed out by JohnnyO. It will also effect your performance as you have made your gear ratio higher by going to the larger tires, which means the trac will be a bit slower. If you were to upgrade to...

Hey Rodger. Yeah that's true, but it would be a trade off.
Matt, you make a reasonable point, but at least in the case of the K&N you're talking a million miles before the first cleaning/re-oiling. I don't see many cars making it that far. Moreover, the cleaning/re-oiling just becomes part...
