That's correct.

And by CAI, he means a real CAI...not a K&N in place of the airbox. I'm assuming you (OP) know the difference considering the work you've done.

And 4.75 won't be a very noticeable difference from stock. Do 4" if you're installing larger tires. I'd use 15x7 for up to a 10.5" wide tire, 15x8 up to 12.5", and 15x10 for larger than that.

Exactly. If nothing else you can make a heat shield out of some plastic or scrap metal. Hell i used a decommissioned road sign for mine.

Those stock steelies are 15x7 with 5.25" backspacing. New wheels with 4" BS will stand out 1.25" wider on each side, so your overall track will be 2.5" wider.

"Dude" is a she. And I was in the same boat when I bought my Comanche. Four slick tires with cords showing.
