A genuine Wald kit is made for the Altezza and won't fit directly on as, say, a RMM front lip would. You're going to need to stretch the front and rear lips. Plus, molding the flares is a pain considering that if you want it to look just right, you are going to need an entire new paint job basically. It is a choice kit, but it is a pain.
Just something to think about

From personal experience, the front lip and rear require some modification and extending to fit correctly.
A good shop should charge at least 200-300 to modify them. It can get pricy.

the flare, if you just put it on and mold it, it's fake and you can't really put wider rims underneath coz' you will still rub. if you wanna do it right, you will have to cut out the whole fender and mold the pieces, that's very expensive
i had a price for the kits but i don't haev it anymore. with the yen rising, the kit is getting more and more expensive...

Like I said.....great fitment. I was quoted 1/2 hour labor to fine tune and prep for painting.
The only reason I am selling is because I like the RMM one..... and I like Carbon fiber........

You can run 255/35/18 in the rear with only a 1/2 " cut of the fender or cut out 3/4 " in the rear and run 275/35/18 . The fronts are 235/40/18 with a slight rub in the inner plastic cover, and a 1/2 cut of fender.
