usually people put on a widebody kit because they have wide racing rims.

It depends on what you prefer, and how wide the widebody is. But spacers will make the car look good from the side, but pretty stupid from the rear. You'd have a wide *** car, with really narrow wheels. So best choice would be going for a set of wheels that has the correct offset to get the wheels in the best position.

No dealers in the us...........Toxic, the wheels are the cheapest Iv'e seen. I was quoted $275 /17'X8" and $300/17"X11". But I blew my motor so the money is now going towards the rebuild and Microtech LT8. But I will buy those GT's!!!!

I ran into a guy here in miami with the rame rear kit as ours, and his wheels were 13" wide in the back. I dont think they will cost much more than what I was quoted.

send them an email Attn: Salvador,Thomas and he will give you the exact prices
