Alright im starting another 240 project but this one is going VIP! I ordered my wheels yesterday but i dont think i can just flare the rear quaters to make them fit with the width of the tires and the offset. So im probbly going to have to widebody the car. Here are the specs on the wheels:

Front: Wed Kranze Cerberus 18x9.5 + 19 wrapped in 255/18/40 Rear : Wed Kranze Cerberus 18x11 + 6 wrapped in 285/18/35

Do you guys think i can flare or should i widebody??

LMK!!

^ Tell that to Greg!

I say get overfenders as well, flares are very hard to pull of nicely. Very nice choice in wheels btw.

Why don't you tell him? I swear this site is like a time machine.

Anyways... This guy is a ginormous tool.

The two go hand-in-hand. If you didn't have that ridiculous sig or want a VIP 240, I and I hope to god others would be far more inclined to help.

Who cares about my sig? Nico isnt about damn signatures. Its a place of help for nissan and infiniti car owners.My topic isnt "What do you guys think about my sig". Its a question about doing widebody. So far you have not done any help but piss me off. And is there a problem with me going VIP? Its a change for me. Trust me ive had MANY 240s and theyve all been boosted and i kinda just want to keep it DD for now.
