Unhappy Rims made for widebody kits

I need help my 350z base model is getting a veilside 3 wide body kit put on it!
do I need bigger rims or to put spacers on? Because it won't look right with rims being tucked underneath I need the rims to stick out a little more!

you're going to need a wheel with custom offsets or very large spacers.

Based on your post count I will assume you are a "noob". You will need to have the rims flush with the body to get the maximum effect from the bodykit.

IMO a new set of wheels with offsets that sit flush are the best way to go. First off you get to choose a set of wheels to compliment the boy work you have done to the car.*Secondly you can get offsets that will work.

As an option, especially if money is an issue is to get wheel spacers. Be aware that spacers will put additional stress on your wheel bearings and suspension, however if you get a quality set and don't get extreme with the size you can get by just fine.

If you have to go larger than 10MM I would say don't do it. I am very weary about spacers and so have not used them, but I don't want to be overly biased against them. Hope this helps...and GOOD LUCK!!!

BTW: Post pics when you are done, it's alaways good to see what people are doing to their ride.

20mm spacers are no big deal. But your should look into custom wheels like Forgeline, kinesis, or HRE. They can custom make any wheel width offset combo you would like.
