Wheels for a Wide Body Kit - Help!

I need some wheel advice concerning a wide body kit. Where to go for them, what size is best, etc. Any of you have a kit & are willing to share info?

I dont have a widebody kit, but I would suggest going with a billet alluminum wheel.

not only do they look sweet, but you can usually get them in custom offsets and bolt patterns.

as for size, you can measure to see how wide of a tire you can fit. buy those tires, and then use a wheel guage to give you your offset and ect.

www.diamondracingwheels.com has a nice selection of steel wheels like the ones used on stock cars (no not a stock looking car, the racing kind of stock car as in NASCAR). IMO, they look pretty sweet with a widebody. Other than that, its going to be hard to find some in the correct bolt pattern with the right backspace and offset. I personally like the Pro series wheels with the D style windows from diamond racing wheels.
