Default Rocket Bunny wheels specs ?

Okay guys I'm about to pre-order the rocket bunny kit. The specs for this kit are not out yet but I believe the flares will be +40mm extra for the front fenders and +65mm extra for the rear fenders based off of other rocket bunny kits.

How wide of wheels and what offset do you guys think I will need to achieve a nice flush look?

Here is a pic of my car and the rocket bunny kit

I would say find out what specs your wheels are and soundtrack 40 offset from the front and 65 from the rear? Going to be tough finding wheels like that

From all the reading i've done Work Wheels usually offers pretty low offsets (negatives) with wide widths.

Maybe a spacer aswell to ensure it is fully flush.

Bmcann101 (sp?) would be the best at wheel specs for a wide body, he's gone through many sets of wheels and various wide body mods.

Reference the side of the body and tire

I'd say -20 to 30 with a fat tire setup so whatever spacer that is to take your wheels to that point would fit!

Shouldn't be hard getting wheels to where you want them to fit, but I wouldn't get wheels until kit is installed, then calculate wheel/tire specs from there.

+1 and looking at your photo and my car and a few other it;s in the -40s or higher

a spacer I wouldn't trust to cruise on

dont buy the wheels until you get your suspension set up correctly and the kit on the car, end of story.

.. this type of kit and look balances wheel width.. flare width.. tire shape and size as well as camber.. changes in one single aspect affect everything else.
You need to test fit with a stack of spacers and smome spare "measureing " wheels.. then when you find the proper fit and look, you can order legit wheels and tires to match the specs you uncovered.

Doing the opposite will cause you nothing but issues.

ie, more outward poke from going too negative in offest for a given wdth can be reeled back in by adding camber and getting the top of the tire to tuck back in under the flare.. tire shape plays a roll here as well.. rocket bunny cars generally have little camber and poje and a meaty look, so you may want to look at 18 inch wheels vs 19s.. my 19s look huge w this kind of kit, and i cant get much shape out of my sidewall ( even if i didnt really go narrow tire or stretch) using a 30 series tire on a 19.. it kind of is what it is.

if it were I, id imagine that although he is on my facebook friends list, Kei Muira is most likely flooded w messages due to recent celebrity status lol.. so.. Id contact the distributior youre buying the kit from and have them contact 6666 Customs or Greddy directly and have them give you wheel fitment specs if they are available.. youre most likely to get attention from emails sent by the people who do the direcet business w the manufacturer vs a random "contact us" form email.. im sure there a countless messages that flood in that way as well.. but the bestplan of action is to work with your wheel builder ahead of time and have a loose idea of time and fit availability.. and then jsut simply WAIT until the body is in hand and the car is built..

youre really putting the cart before the horse looking at wheels first.

I would love to see some custom Work S1R's... Bronze on bronze on white..... (bias)

And yes Kit then order wheels. Rock spaced out wheels until the custom made ones show up.

I think I might be able to use my current set up..

If I used 25mm spacers front and back

Then ran 315 rears and 295 or 305 fronts


My current specs are

18x11 +16 285/35

18x10 +22 255/35

So your getting the rocket bunny kit can't wait to see it installed on your car I Love this kit but still have a few reservations on that rear spoiler and how it's connected in the back,maybe seeing your's installed might change my mind.

ive been asking and re/searching for this kit for a while now. i've gotten many "release" dates but none of them have followed through. Unless its going to debut at sema.. i highly doubt this kit will come out anytime soon.
Muirsan, has many other projects going on and i highly doubt the older less popular z33 platform is among the priority.

and i would get the kit on first before you decide on your wheels. It's like putting clothes to go out.. you put your shirts and pants on first than the shoes are last..

Ohhhh, always liked multi spoke wheels, specially with a concave design.

Where are you getting them custom made?
Something I might be interested in sometime in the future.

That's funny i spoke to him months ago.. and he came up with the same response. So i would find that hardly personal. like i said with sema coming up a couple days and TAS in a few months. If it's not seen there..it's going to be a while.

I gotta ask.. What do you do for a living?
With everything you've been doing plus this kit and wanting to do customs wheels.. that's a lot of $$$.
