Todd,
on a RWA car, most tires will fit. However, which aspect ratio are you
talking about? I think a 175/70 is too tall. It looks goofy and has too
tall a sidewall. I would go for a 165/70 if you are a tourer, 175/60 for
sportier applications, and a 185/60 for the ultimate, but only with a stiff
suspension.

Yes, that is the only difference except for the emblem in the grille. I
agree that the unpainted stainless grille (not chrome) looks much better.
You can probably remove the black paint on your grille surround with Acetone
or maybe steel wool?
