Ok the go is to cut after the paint,I asked enough times to get slapped so I'll go with it..I had a new Cherokee 3 yrs ago have its roof cut and they did a fine job ..altho they suggest not to stick around when it goes under the knife..also the current hood liner in the 'X' is a bit shabby, so the guys will redo that while they're in there..

Wheels ...checking out some wheels tomorrow by BSA model 326 to be exact, has the look its 20x9 but with a 35 offset so this will pull the wheel back in giving more dish, 275/45x20s..still working on which tire vs $s...just found a pic..hmm attaching is a bit different to what i thought here try this link..
