Spent the weekend putting on my BBK TB, 70MM MAS, intake, & my new rims & tires. For the intake, I got the 70MM adapter plate from KKM. I used a K&N filter I found locally. I had to cut alot of the inside rubber out of it to make it fit though.

Rims & tires...
AR series 62 Outlaw II rims 15X8, 3.75" backspacing.
4 BF Goodrich All TA KO's 31X10.5X15

I have no lift, & I rubbed the very inside edge of the running boards. A knife to those edges took care of that.
I do rub the inner fender lining when I turn extream left or right. Other then that no other rubbing issues. I might get skyjacker's 2" lift to help that out.
I don't see much of a power loss. I guess the mods I have are compensating.
Pics aren't the greatest, but you get the idea:

I love the mean stance my X has now. :D
Finished off Sunday with 3 coats of Zaino
 






Looks much better. I barely felt a power loss going to 31s. The biggest difference was the longer distance it took to stop. Nice job :thumbsup:
