Great idea !

Hopefully this will help people nail the fitment without trying a million and one setups when it comes to offset!

I have an over fender on my rear end but it's like 15mm. Fitment is suprisingly good, but my car isn't even close to running. I don't see any point in posting about it.

I have been thinking about widening the car on top of that though, with some over over fenders front and rear, but I don't want to buy new wheels for a car I don't have running yet.

Throwing around some ideas in my head almost daily, but there are other things I want to do with my money than invest in body panels and wheels. Camera, trips, nitrous, brakes, tune, school... meh.

Maybe when I get the car running I'll see how it looks and work from there and have something to contribute but you guys are the only widebody guys.

Everyone else that might be on here are running the veilside fugly duck kit. I had a mastergrade widebody replica which is what got me to cut my rear up in the first place, but that kit is very old school widebody. Think there might be a member on here somewhere, with that kit.

Haha thanks Al. Z isn't done 100% by I am very very close to were I want to be. But will of course drop the specs really soon. Already have fitment squared away. More or less it's just misc parts I need to collect before anything.

Sema had flip out LCD screens for how long?

Yeah rocket bunny/LB Walk isn't going anywhere

The RB FRS used to be one of my favorites, now it's ridiculously common.

All these pics are nice and such, but the intent of the thread was wheel specs.
