dunno about your bumper dilema, but I know those rims won't rub with the proper tires. as long as you get 215/40/17 or smaller you will be fine. Peace

nah man the bumpers should work fine. You won't have to worry about the rims. I changed to LX bumperso on my 87. I had the black bumpers but I went to the yard and found some bumpres off an LX for $48 each. Got them painted and it changed the whole look of the car.
Go for it.

The offset of the rims play a more important role than tire sizes, make sure to get around 40mm or so of offset
