USA Wide body Kit. Will my wheels fit nice?

I know this has been on the board before, but i have slightly different rim izes. I am looking to get a wide body kit from dave at PAautoRACING, I already have a set of 17"s 17X7 F and 17X9 R(both are +38mm offset). I was wondering how well these will fit with the kit? Will i need wheel spacers?

i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure a 17 x 9 with +38 offset will be way too tucked in the rears for a wbk....you should sell those rims and get these ones...

17x9 +38 is pretty close to flush with stock fenders. You're looking at a pretty big tuck with a widebody kit.

Get some spacers, or better yet, sell those and get some new wheels better suited for the widebody!

3rd and (in my opinion) best option. Keep the stock body and your current wheels, and buy something that improves performance. Money well spent!

good luck!
