Tri-point engineering makes the widest. Can fit a 17" rim with a 335 on it. Feed also makes some I think

if only i could actually afford the kit itself ... cause i work at a body shop and could paint and fabricate the whole car for the cost of paint and supplies which would only be 1 or 2 hundred... maybe ill keep the job long enough but i doubt it cause when i graduate im the hell out of there... untill then its invaluable resources

Thie $600 kit on e-bay is an exact replica of the Tri-Point kit. Carl Byck has it on his car and I have met the reproducer of it sevenstock the last two years. He has it on his turbo vert. Very nice. I think I paid over $2000 for mine from Tri-Point and that does not include installation. The replica was not available then for me unfortunately. Even at $600, it is still very expensive because of the labor to cut the rear quarter panel and bond the rear flares on 'properly' and then paint, wheels and tires, a 20b to smoke the 335's in the rear and all the suspension and...and.....

I can't say definatively if the flares are or not, but hat yellow cars' flares and front bumper look very much like the Tri-Point kit. However, the sideskirts, rear bumper cover and rear spoiler are definateley not from Tri-Point as they do not even offer them. Tri-Points rear spoiler is just a lip (Nascar style) that bonds on.

these are usless on a NA. And you would need a serious build t2 motor to turn 335's

Uhh, not true. Certainly I wouldn't want to do it to an na. Yes, your accel/braking would suffer as a result but you can 'pump up' an na somewhat to help overcome that, but never like a turbo (or 20b ) could. You would also be increasing unsprung weight and that is why wheel/tire and shock choice are very important, even more so the bigger you go.
Generally more tire means more grip through a turn which equates to faster corner speeds and lower lap times on a circuit or autocross.
