pretty easy to replace?

Yes and no. It only has like 6 clips and 3 screws holding it in place but the area is pretty tight. You have to get in behind the wheel liner which is easy, just a few clips in the front area, the liner folds down under the bumper so you have to undo/remove a few more clips and screws to pull the liner down. The hardest part was one inboard screw where you need a stubby Philips screw driver because the area is so tight. I managed to get it off but was hell putting back in since I didn't have stubby. I almost left it off but my neighbor had a stubby and I was able to screw it about 1/4 turn at a time. I'd say it took about 45 minutes only because it's such a tight area to access a few of the clips and that one screw.

Installed these 3D ghost lights from AliExpress (https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0BOcrI) on the front 2 doors. They are much brighter than the stock incandescent lights and help visibility on the ground. The description says "never fading" but we'll see.

I will be running these on the factory wheels.

As for not running a 295 on a 9.5" wheel they're just recommendations .
But really, it's because I'm cheap. Moving the rear tires to the front and 295s in the rear because they're the closest diameter of the 265/35 before getting to 305/30. When the car is paid for I'll put wheels on it.

Ha, what a coincidence! Look what I just put on! 😁🍻 Yours looks cooler though.
