IMHO the best wide body kits are the ones that use the same lines as the stock body but just flare them out a little more.

stock lines with a slight roll on the bottom with meaty tires sitting flush looks the best

You consider 20mm a "wide body"?

+1 on that. See:

http://www.cris.com/~Asam/final.html The Tri-point fenders follow the stock lines, when viewed from the side, which is why I selected them.

sorry, but that widebody on that car is just retarded. he doesnt have the wheels to fit it, it looks disgusting, and is a total waste of money.

i can understand if you used that as reference, but why not use other widebody companies that have the same "boxy" fc style overfenders? ie: origin

im probably running wider wheels than him (17x9 +0) and im still on stock body with a pull.

the widebody is awesome...with 18x12's or something. wider tires arent going to make it flush, but to each his own.

AWR makes a good looking set of race glass. This kit is on the short list that doesn't ruin the look of the car.

I have 17 x 9s on the front and 17 x 10s on the rear. Those were the sizes recommended by Peter Farrell when he did the conversion. On the track, the handling is perfect, which is my concern. According to Tripoint, the fender flares will allow up to 315-wide tires (I'm not sure what wheel width that would be), which is what they had on their autox car that first featured the fenders.

FWIW, I have always thought the front wheels/tires looked a little small, but "Pretty is as pretty does", and they does pretty damn well.

If I go ahead and upgrade the engine with a BIG single turbo, I'll probably have to go to the larger wheels and tires, as well, to handle the expected 700+ hp.

As for the wheels, they're 17x10 and 18x10.5
