Default Widebody wheel spec ?

Hey there I am in the process of purchasing an Obsidian wide body kit to add to my mod list. I am going to do all the work while I am here at wyotech and use there facilitie to do it in also. I am in the stage of purchasing body components so that I have it all before I start my custom class in seven months. I was wondering what wheel specs I could run with and with out wheel spacers to be flush. Also could I do it with 17s ? since it would sit lower or would it look wack ? let me know about your opinions anything will help before i go out and purchase wheels. thanks.

17's would look way out of place with such huge fenders. 18's at least but 19'
s would probably be best.

As far as width..I'd say at MINIMUM 10 if not wider..so offset wise you would probably be looking at like +20 and lower..I could be wrong but you definitely would need a pretty aggressive setup to pull that kit off. IMO the obsidian is the only widebody for the tC that I actually somewhat like but you definitely need to have the right setup to pull it off

you are going to need at least a 10" to 11.5"

On tina's wide body she is running like 11" on the front and 13" on the rear

and no 17s

ok so what bout some 9.5 with wheel spacers ?
id like to keep them 18s and try and stay away from 19s and up.
Imma wait till I get some cash together and try and find some from memoryfab or rbmotoring I just need to find the right specs to pull them off.
I would run wheel spacers if it would help.

You could run spacers but to get that nice lip that looks good with widebodies a true 11" or higher would be better

Im pretty positive they are all custom made, if i won the lottery tomorrow I would defiantly order those as soon as i got the money. lol I think those are part of the 540 series but it is hard to tell.

I am trying to find out the specs on that one dudes wheels that just posted his wide body. The orange one, the size doesnt look too bad

Yea i think that dude is probably running in the 9.5 to 10 with spacers range. They look alittle too sunk in for me, but look alright.

Rado was running 19x10f and 19x12r HREs on his silver tc
