Default need opinions on this wide body

not sure if i want to go wide body, but i hate the veilside rear so this is one that i like, in pics anyway

Want it (Buddy Club 2 Wide Body), but finding wheels with +18 offset front and -18 offset for the rear is becoming somewhat of a challenge. Unless I go with HRE or iForged.

Personally I think that's atrocious and I would never put it on my car. It completely distorts the lines and makes it the Z look like a cartoon. But it's your car, so if you like it and are willing to deal with the additional costs (i.e. custom set of wheels and pricey, enormous rubber) then nobody's opinion here should matter.

Well, it's essentially a copy of the VeilSide Version 3 kit, so I don't really know why you like this one, but don't like the VeilSide one.


at any rate.

Wheels to fill out the wide arches aren't EASY to come by.
Most likely, you will need to have custom wheels made (like you mentioned already).

With a big widebody kit, you will need to accomodate many things and the costs will add swiftly.

There are only a few widebody kits that should ever be seen on a 350z, this is not one of them.

^^ Don't mind Jim, is FAVORITE widebody kit is the HAVOC!



Just ribbin' ya Jim. OP I would suggest the Mastergrade or Asuka widebody kits:
Asuka:

Mastergrade:


I would never recommend getting a replica widebody, especially of the Veilside kit because it's so ugly (IMO) to begin with. It will cost you a small fortune to get that thing properly installed and even looking decent. Most will still say it sucks even after all of that work.

How much of the rear wheel is cooled by those vents on the Asuka and Mastergrade kits?

Personally, I don't think it's a bad looking front end....my car....as the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Not a wide body yet.....

The VeilSide Ver.3 wide body aero kit is pretty sweet. It was the one that was used on DKs Z in Tokyo Drift, I am planning on getting it someday, it costs allot though.
