Thanks again for the info. I seem to be in the ballpark with what I was thinking for gears 3.55, 3.73. 3.73 seems to be more common. As far as tire size 245/45R17 (25.7") cold air intake, better exhaust, better intake(?) - nothing dramatic.

'88's have rubbing problems with the skirts. Go just a bit smaller diameter, 245/40R17

You are looking at the front portion of the wheel opening, look at the discoloration (yellow) on the inside

Got it. Thanks. It was the grey (carpet?) that threw me.

Yup. These don't rub. 225/50x15, OEM 225/60x15 did rub.
