you know what thinking about it since it's such a widebody he probably had no choice for lambo doors. When opening the regular door they probably would of hit the fender.

I doubt it. In these pics the doors are pushed back close to the body. With all these "lambo door" kits you still have to open the door like normal, you just have the ability to push it up like a lambo door.

get rid of the lambo doors, and add some spacers in the rear, or new rims entirely

Spacers!! In dont think so, Hell I think they maybe the widest wheels IForged makes. For me the offset is perfect. But I know some you like that aggressive look.

it's not about the width ,they should have adjusted the offset,or built the widebody around the wheels

Im not sure why, but the widebody on that SC reminds me of the IMSA racing cars of the 80s and 90s.
