    I'd be surprised if you could get it done for $2k and actually look good. Pretty much have to respray half the car too.

    I didn't say you could do it for $2k, I just said it would cost more than 2k. That's just for the fitting. :zlove:

    It could get really expensive as you'd probably be liable for the installers future therapy requirements.:p

    then expect an average respray... lol

    Personally id allow
    1-3k for fitting and prep
    5k for respray

    I want to install a wide-body kit in which the wheels will extrude at least 4 inches on each wheel.
    I read that using thick spaces will create "negative chamber"? or something which I guess will effect the handing.

    To achieving my goal, does anyone know if its worth getting 10" deep dish wheels or will 100mm (4inch) spacers be sufficient since I will just be cruising anyway.

    my widebody will be for my custom Z Vigor kit, but I may hack it to fit 2+2 Z's and it would look like the following.

    Yep 4 inch spacers should do you nicely, i think you should go get some made up right now, shouldnt be too expensive. Then go test them out first thing, a few high speed runs should do it.

    Negative chamber for the loss

    Yeah, but with 4" spacers you'd need to consider hubcentric or floating style. If you're going to suggest him to do high-speed runs you could at least inform him of the dangers of hubcentric spacers. You'd be after the 'floating' style spacers if you're going to fill guards that wide Arash. Realistically you'd probably want a really low offset as well as the spacers, to really fill the guards. That'd be the best setup for what you're after, I think. Can't wait to see results!

    Other members should be wise to the fact that my bastard Z designed car is not appreciated to live its modified life to the fullest :zlove:

    Thanks for the input, I should really have my wheels setup before I size out a widebody and I think a combination of deep dish wheels and spacers will be the best choice in terms of cost and decent results.

    I think I'll need at least $1500 for used wheels, ~$300 for spacers and 800 for coil-overs. :(
