If you want to use the car for track use, why do you need a rocket bunny kit? The wheels will fit in the wheels before the kit. Plus spacer don't help in terms of performance.

I am not saying you shouldn't go widebody, but if you do. You should definitely get wheels that are enormous!!! You know. . . kind of like this. I think this is a 12" wheel in the rear.

18x10 -offset (front) and 18x11 -offset (rear) if you wanna go RB. But with the current setup a 9.5+30 rear with 1-1.5" drop, 255's, and camber you'll be OK. Personally, i wouldnt go RB and wide wheels/tires unless im pushing >400whp/400wtq. And if you do get that power, you'll have to change a lot of things in your car, diff would be top of the list.

I don't track it often just casual and if I go RB then the car wouldn't be tracked at all, in fact it's more of a show car. DD for me meaning that the car is drive-able and I won't have trouble with you know weekend trips (approx 80 miles trips).

What do you mean with my current setup I would be ok, the car is dropped around 1.4", stretched on 225/40 pilots, camber is stock but you know when you go lower you gain a bit of negative camber so I'm guessing over stock by a bit. With my current setup the wheels are nowhere to be flush with the wide fender.

The car is merely a show car I'm not planning on any FI at the moment. She has an overpipe, front pipe and cat-back, CAI, tune, that's it.

Ah, alright then. You should be fine with spacers though. Just make sure you get really good ones though. Cause they are going to be under a lot stress.

Oh! Okay...i thought you had 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. If its a showcar, then RB that thing. But im not the "All show, no go." type of guy.

The stress thing is getting me, but I heard that a lot of people run big spacers and didn't have any issues so yeah.

Yes that's my current setup, I think we got jumbled haha, I'm on 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rear with +40 in the front and +30 in the back, little bit of negative camber in the back and I'm perfectly flush with the fender now with no spacers and I'm poking not too much not too little.

Well if you are dishing money out for a Rb build its worth it to get a set built here and shipped out !

I'll check them out, I checked one thousand dunes garage but the prices were overkill for the meisters.

If you have no problem with spending money on another set of wheels, I would recommend a large wheel with a very low offset. Something like a 12" wheel will really help with cutting down on spacers.

Yeah my plan is to get wider wheels but while I'm waiting for the wheels I figured I can do something about the current setup but oh well, some things are worth waiting for :p.

One thing i can say for sure, wheels and tires are the most important thing to focus on if ur gonna run the rocket bunny kit. u dont want ur wheels to sit inside the fenders, u want them to stick out just as much as the kit does.
