Duraflex wide body kit

Ordered a 12 piece duraflex wide body awhile back, just wanting some advice on what size wheel/tire would fit and recommendations on coilovers as well.

Has anyone on here got that kit?

It's a copy of the RocketBunny kit so @adamj29 might have the answer.

Adam had to cut half his normal arches apart to get his wheels to fit, might not be the best example!

You pretty much have to do that with the RB kit if you want the complete look.

@sagecalla the best bet is to go and look over in the US forum where loads have fitted the kit.

Yeah the US forum are the best place for advise on spec for wide body kits. Other than the standard cutting / grinding and welding required to fit the arches, I needed extensive modifications to be carried out to the front arches as there was too much negative offset on them. They eventually fitted. 

My wheel specs are: Front - 18 x 9.5 ET -36 Rear - 18 x 10.5 ET -47

The rear wheels needed around -5.5 camber to get them to fit. So if you want to use it for the track, or as a practical car then go for more positive offset. But at least you know the limitations of what can be used.
