Default flush wheels on wide body

i'm looking at getting new wheels but also i am thinking about getting a wide body kit. specifically the buddy club 2 (bc-2) (ps, anyone know if this is a good quality kit?- will ask in other section if needed).
i can't find how much wider that kit is though so i cant decide what offset, width, and/or spacers would be needed to get them flush with 19s
does anyone know how much wider the kit is?
what sort of set up have others done for their wide kits?
couldn't find any previous posts with this either.
all help appreciated

+1, your going to need wheels that wide with negitive offsets, I hope you have $4k if not more for just the wheels, not including the the cash for the overweight fibreglass (widebody) and paint.

that is def a lot for rims.. would be looking at twin turbo kits before i dropped that much for rims and then the tires still. i've seen a lot of wide kits with various volks and axis rims, i'm sure they just used huge spacers.
maybe doing a square set up with spacers on the back would be better... if only i could find out how wide the kit is..

if your gonna do it you might as well save and drop the cash on the wheels that are gonna work or you will be throwing money down the drain because you probably are not gonna be satisfied
