You do realize that a body kit isn't going to reduce your wheel gap (get rid of the 4x4 look) right?

Just a dumb question, I have 16" rim on my ride now. Its a 205/60/16. I have Prokit and Yellow koni in it now. If i want to get another set of tires, say 205/50/16. Will I loose the wheel gap size? I dont want to loose that 1.5"...LOL and becoming a 2.5 wheel gap

If you get a 50 series tire your sidewall is gonna be shorter.
