TraSTi · 01-24-2007, 03:45 PM

Which wheel and tires should i go with Launsport wide body kit??

Im interested in size suggestion and offset. i will stay 17 inches to keep weight down.

don't go anything less than 17x10... look at Volks...

Go with a 275 or 285 wide tire.

there are plenty of lightweight 18x10 or whatever you need, 17's will look like ass if you want to get that widebody kit.

Ya, the WRC car uses 18" wheels on tarmac

where to start?

do you plan on radiusing the rear fenders?

what suspension do you plan on using?

nothing wrong with running 17s on a wide body.

do you know the specs on the launsport wide body you're looking at for added width? <just seeing if you do, giving you a chance to prove you've done some reseach instead of assuming the whores know>

we can find a perfect wheel and tire setup for this without much hassel since you'll be able to do alot of modification while the car is in the body shop

Due to financial issues and all the work that is incorporated in doing a widebody i guess it will stay a dream for a while... after doing more research it isn't as cheap, should i say it is a lot more that what i though for just parts and some body work but everypart needs to be trial fitted then probably trimmed then on the rear doing cutting the stock fender, also all the molding to make it look one piece with the fender.... Then the wheels and tires... Over all its too much work and money...
