I just bought new rims and tires and want to buy a rocket bunny v2 kit?
 
Hi I just bought 17x9 Rota RT5 (5x100/e42/73)

My tires are Michillan Pilot AS3+ 245 in the rear and 225 in the front. Will it look weird with the rocket bunny wide fenders? This is my first car i've owned (Scion FRS 2016) and im completely new to modifying cars.

What suspension are you going to use?
Do you plan any other mods?
Are you going to install the kit yourself?
Is this a daily driven car or just a showpiece?
Do you need to drive it on uneven surfaces?
What is your budget?
Can you get away with not using it for long periods?
Do you have space and equipment to do repairs?
Have you even thought this through beyond "OH cool body kit"?

Since your post title was a question: No, you do not "want to buy a rocket bunny v2 kit"

Well currently I have actually bought a ton of things for the car. I have ordered:
KW V3 Coilovers
New camber plates, control arms, and toe arms with correction kit
New exhaust, headers and overpipe/midpipe
New sway bars

These will all be here next week and i want to get everything installed at once. I am planning on lowering the car about 1.5-2".

It will be my summer driving car, I live in Ontario Canada and don't plan on driving it in the winter.

Budget - Literally money isnt an issue, and I probably would get the kit molded on. I also plan on getting it wrapped so painting the kit isnt an issue either.

I just really like the kit honestly thats why i want it.

OK then that is a massive jump into modding and good that money isn't an issue because you will be pushing $10K by the time you get all that and a RB kit installed. Could even go over.

Now, to answer your original question, I think those wheels will look awful with a kit. They will look small and sparse tucked up in there. If money is not a restriction you shouldn't have cheaped out on wheels.

Where is "Ontario Canada"?

Baller....and Yes, with that setup you have it will look weird.

You need way wider wheels for a rocket bunny kit. They probably also need to be 18"+ in diameter to look good.

Money not an issue, eh?

Looks like it will be all show and no go. Anything planned for the power plant?

Yes. Anything will. Please report back when done just how much you spent to make your potential little money-no-object rocket car into a clown-car.

If this is your first car and you are new to modifying, why not take this one step at a time? By doing all of this at the same time it won't increase your knowledge about the car or how each of the components affects the characteristics. It's satisfying to do things individually or possible try on your own.

Also, easy on the "money isn't an issue" thing. People get salty about that and it makes you seem like a spoiled person. It's been said before, but doing some track time or autocross would bring you infinitely more enjoyment than to throw money into your car on random mods.

He said money isn't an issue, why shop for bargains when there are better things to get with an endless pile of money? I suggest:

or

Not sure if the Rotas have the same bolt pattern as the LaFerrari or P1 so they may have to be sold here in the classified to get some money back to buy tire valve stem covers for either of the above.
