The mariah site tells you how wide to run to look right with it.Remember you'll need that much more hp to push it around at speed.Thats why I think its still in the air about the CP kit. Try mariahs site and see what they recomend the site is listed in the site thread thats pinned at the top.

the factory imsa kits, use 16x12" wheels

Prolly need 16x10's in the rear then.The CP kit doesn't seem as wide as a IMASA kit.

CPs is a new kit.I doubt they have any fresh pics yet other than the black one you saw already.

BTW a widebody kit will take away 30hp or more depending on how wide it is.Just because the car works harder to move the wheels and deflect air off the new stance it has.You'll need a extra 30hp just to make up the difference of going widebody with those huge wheels.

not to mention finding 265-295 tires in 16"

I'm thinking of the Mazdatrix/Erebuni kit myself.I think its the best looking one on the FB body other than the Japanese ARF kits.Heres Viperx7 car with the kit I want on it.Notice the shaved sidemarkers.My 83 is in the middle of shaving them and the badges as well.I can wait to do it to the 82 after I get that thing running.He modified the front to accept round fogs which I think look way better than the square ones.
