body kit question

rkalloo · 05-06-2008, 11:41 PM

Guys i need your help. Im really liking this body kit : Honda Civic AIT Racing GT-i Style Wide Body Kit at PRO Civic.com

now right now my concern is how much wider is this than the hfp kit?

and second my wheels right now are 18x7.5, are they going to look really stupid and look like their stuck inside the car? so like with that body kit, am i going to need to buy wider rims?

thanks guys

Yes they will look really stupid. You will need wider rims... that is the whole point in getting a widebody kit.

PM turbo_si, he's the one who test fitted the kit. He knows everything there is to know about AIT's widebody.

You do not buy a widebody kit just to put wheel spacers on your thin rims to make up the difference. A widebody kit enables greater traction by increasing clearance for wider rims

wheel spacers are a cheap solution to an expensive problem. Just get new wheels man.
