Question Help! Right Size Rims For This Widebody Kit

Well... I am totally new to rim and wheel sizes. Planning on upgrading my FD with the Chaser Aero REA GT300. Problem is i have no idea what width of rims will fit perfectly with this kit.

Could anyone help me out if they know the right size before i purchase the kit or the rims i'm thinking about?

Much appreciated
Cheers

Here's the Widebody:

I have had this kit for a while and i have had 11x18 ET 12 and they fit both the front and rear.

Im gonna order some new wheels now from CCW as i had only 9x18 in the front before. But the 11x18 did fit in the front as well.

I will go most likely for 12x18 in the rear and 11x18 in the front with the CCW wheels, not sure about the offset for the rear, but the front will be the same ET12.

Now it's realy thight with the ET12 in the rear, so you might want to the the rims and wheels on before you mount the rear fenders so that you can modify it to fit.

If that's the case then there are plenty of affordable lightweight good quality wheels available by Enkei Racing Series.

18x10.5 +15 seems like a great fit.
