Off-setting tire sizes and raising/lowering suspension - Bad for airflow?
I was thinking of maybe putting on larger sized rims in the back and either raising or lowering the suspension, but I dont know if that would be bad for the cars airflow/aerodynamics...
For a turbo engine would angling the vent on the hood differently create any problems? Im just worried that Id lose airflow and choke out my engine really.

AIRFLOW
In my opinion, I dont think that if you raise or lower a your car a little bit, that it would make a significant change in your aerodynamics. Airflow to your intercooler wouldnt really change either that it chokes your engine. I could be wrong though, but I am just tryin' to help you out. Good luck on your research though.

Lucky for you i have a book about Aero right on my desk! and it says dont worry about it! and no, its not going to have an effect with the hood vent.
You should worry about whats going to happen to the handeling of the car when you raise/lower it. And dont forget to get an alignment after you install and adjust ride hight.
