Looking for a wide body solution

DjSquall · 05-08-2013, 09:49 AM

I have 0 offset in the rear. Full 6" deep dish. Car is slammed to sit only an inch off the ground as well. And if I'm gonna change the rims, it will be to go even wider.. I have some evil evil plans for the engine/drivetrain when the warranty runs out

I'm assuming you're on coilovers, so why not raise the car up a tad and minimize the tire damage until you can get the issue fixed?

They'll stick out and I want to avoid that. Plus, reducing camber without modifying my quarter panels might result in them getting sliced up on a bump. It's a PITA, as you can see.

In case you haven't seen this thread already:
New 370z Widebody in the process!

He mentions having his rear fenders molded and sold later on - not sure what ever came of it though. Might be worth looking in to.

Thanks for the link, I've been following mikes car since day 1

Edit: you can't just "mold" the rear quarter panels on our cars... They require cutting & welding no matter how you look at it.

Yea its too bad they cant just bolt on like the fronts.

The double edge sword of modding -
Mod to be original - Only mass produced parts are affordable.
