What springs/shocks/struts are you running? I love the look of those Race Stars on your car. I went cheap for my drag wheel setup and bought Fast-Fives.

They should fit fine with the pro kit.

No, it will naturally carve a slight path for itself for the first few miles you drive it but its no more than maybe 5mm at the most, nothing you need to worry about. Also prepare for the ABS and brake lights to stay on, mine have since i put them on.

The reason your Brake/ABS lights are on is because you are running 25.5" front tires and 28" rear tires.

No it doesn't hurt anything. I wouldn't be worried about it either.
