Default Widebody Question!

Hey guys! So I recently purchased a wide body kit that will add 2.3 inches to the front and 2.9 inches in the rear. My question is: what should my offset be if im running 19x11 and 19x12 and make it look like the liberty walk kits do. I have 19x11 +3,19x12 -3 and was wondering if it would be enough to make that look. I am bagged too so i need it to clear when I air out.

So you bought the clinched widebody. I just put my order in as well. Until someone actually gets their hands on the kit wont be able to help much all just guessing. Im guessing to run flush something like 19x11-10 and 19x12 -5 would work. We will see once kits actually ship

Yeah haha I hope to run flush the sizes are like that cause that means I might not have to run spacers and or super tiny baby spacers

You will definitely need to wait until the kit is installed so you can take all the necessary measurements. I sent them an email for you to see if they might have any previous customers specs. A lot of the time they will have some info on hand so they can help you out, but we shall see. What wheels were you wanting to go with? Another option is to see if maybe they have done a IS with that widebody kit as well.. Its a long shot, but its worth a shot.

Thank you for your help! Yeah I looked around but its so hard to find the wheel specs for a wide body on the 2IS the way I want them to look. Many of them are wide body and hella cambered but barely any of them are running no camber and I wanted to run super beefy tires too

You are definitely going to have to wait. Which sucks, because depending on the wheel you are wanting to go with, you might be waiting up to 4 months to have wheels made. Do you at least know what wheels you are going to go with?
