Bill, the stock knee pad/lower dash is there so I have the use of the glove box and ashtray for storing stuff. I believe GT2 have this part in them.
Chris, welding will distort the metal roof and will require more body filler to repair. 2 part adhesive is very strong .....many new cars are assembled with this type of adhesive. I will find out in a few years if this was a good idea as opposed to fully welding the panel in place. I don't know of anyone who had done this with glue. So we will just have to see if its the way to go...only time will tell. I did get advice form automotive engineers before I did this.
ninjabones, I used the GT2 flares. I don't want to publicly comment on the manufacturer of the fiberglass pieces. I am not happy with the amount of fitting, grinding, building, filling needed to make the parts look right. If you send me a PM I will tell you the brand so you can stay away from them.

Tires:
TOYO Proxes RA1 245 40ZR18
TOYO Proxes RA1 335 30ZR18
9" up front and 12.5 rears.
I may end up going to 10.5 up front when I wear out my front tires. They dont seem wide enough for the "correct look"
I dont know the offset
