Oh yeah, I think new users are limited to what they can do for a while until they get enough posts and replies back in order to weed out the bots. Just keep this conversation with me up until you get about 10 posts under your belt and I think the restriction will be lifted.

Ok tbh im thinking of using spacers to have the wheels be flush and lined up correctly with the widebody fenders. is that bad or am i doing the right thing?

That'd be a huge spacer, if you're trying to flush up stock wheels with a widebody kit. Big enough that you'd need longer lugs... You'd be better served getting wider wheels with lower offset.

No worries man.

The offset of the wheels won't affect the camber (tilt) of the wheels, it's just the difference between the mounting surface of the hub and the centerline of the rim. A lower offset effectively moves the outside edge of the rim further outward, and closer to flush with the line of the body or bodykit.

As far as "good enough," what are you looking to achieve?

Im looking for something that isnt too wide, i like the look of the rally backer, and by good enough i dont want it to look hodgepodge, like i feel like the ten piece kit isnt good enough like it wont look good ill include a link below. and where would i get all this work done? because i have been looking around and tbh i dont trust myself to put the kit on myself. im kind of nervous more about the wheels being flush then anything.

Spacers alone aren't gonna get the job done on stock wheels. To get flush with a widebody kit you have to get a very wide rim with a very low offset, then maybe also spacers.

If flush wheels are your target, personally I'd skip the widebody kit and do wheels/tires/suspension instead.

You know installing a widebody involves cutting the fenders and quarter panels right? I wouldn't consider that an easy install regardless of how many pieces the kit has.

I don't think a widebody with stock wheels if any offset is going to be the look you are going for...

I have the flush wheels on the frs already, i just want to get the widebody kit on it, and then get 35 mil spacers and i feel like that will be good, cause thats what my friend did, and rn the wheels are 7 inch, so im thinking go to 8 or 9 inch rims? with a 35 mil spacer on each wheel. cause i want that wide body feel and look

Yes i know, but i am prob either have my friend do it or not risk bad things happening and just take it to a bodyshop/mod shop

Probably a 9.5in rim with a ~20mm offset plus a 35mm spacer, change your lugs, add coilovers so you don't have a horrific fender gap, then the widebody kit plus install and paint costs... Got $7k to drop into this?

i have at most 4 or 5 k lol so ill figure it out i mean it will work it self out i hope and im not gonna paint it, the kit comes in black and my car is black so imma prob just keep it like that. i mean is that gonna be a bad look? if all else fails i can wrap it, but painting is too expensive.
