That's a very broad question. You need to tell us how wide and wheel sizes.

theres actually a way to just measure it yourself, but yeah like everyone said your question needs to be a little specific, if you have a bolt on widebody then you can easily measure it yourself, if you have custom then you will need to determine how wide your car will be and measure those specs

this will help calculate based off of your current set up. Since its custom widebody, no one but you can answer the question. thats like asking people what size pants fit you after going on a diet.

I assume you will be making the widebody yourself. I don't know how you plan it, but I would calculate exactly how much wider the fenders will be from their existing location (i.e. 5" per side), and place a call to Vince at iForged.

Have him tell you what dimensions you need to measure so that he could give you the most accurate offset and start on the wheels so that they would be ready when your body work is completed.

Vince is out of the country until after the holidays, not to mention it may take a while to get ahold of him when he gets back! (iFORGED is a manufacturer, not a retailer, so its hard for them to answer every retail call / email, etc)

We have done quite a few custom widebodies in conjunction with iFORGED, its not really a problem to assist you with the measurements that you need to take.


Let me know if we can help.
