If you get the RB kit you're still going to need wheels to make it look decent because it's a widebody. Expensive, stanced, or deep dished wheels aren't necessary but personally, there's no point in buying a nice, expensive kit and then going cheap on the wheels or not doing them correct to look right.
Also, fitting the RB kit requires extensive cutting of your fenders and rear quarter panels which means more $$ if you don't do the labor yourself. I like the RB kit but it's too widespread and common on most show/race/shop cars that it doesn't make it quite unique anymore. You can make an equally impressive car without the widebody. Now let's hear from the RB kit haters and confused stance fitment haters... |

if you get the rocket bunny kit, you're going to have to get some crazy width and offset wheels, which are going to cost you a lot per wheel and for the rubber. it could easily turn into a $5000-$10000 investment for something done right.
i say just go for wheels if you're on a budget. if you have money to spend, go for both. |

What would I do?
I'd look into the total cost of actually properly installing a widebody kit. If you have to choose either/or, then you probably don't have to funds to do a proper rocketbunny install that'll set you back many, MANY thousands more than just the price of the kit itself. Wheels, even expensive ones, are comparatively cheap compared to the cost of a proper widebody installation. |

Plus along with everything everyone already said, if you go rocket bunny it becomes a marriage. Cause you're gonna have to love this look for as long as you own your car. Probably become a hard sell if you decide to part ways. Just look two years into the future and ask yourself if you'll still like the look then.
Just my two cents. |

When I saw the title.. I thought your wheels/tires hit your RB kit and for some reason the RB won.. Make sense?

I think you need to make up your own mind. You own your car, not us.
