If you don't have the money for properly fitting wheels, why are you worrying about "widebody" now?

Your gonna need a big, big spacer, something hubcentric with extended lugs (probably) if you want to get a stock 350Z wheel flush on a widebody S14. So much so I think its pointless. Just go with sunken battleship status until you do it right. 240s don't really have to worry about scrub radius much, but I think its just overkill to get a stock wheel flush on widebody.
You do mean stock wheels, right? |

why rock spacers with widebody!
just fucking roll your fenders/pull if anything only reason you should get over fenders if your rims are wider than 10.5 inches or if you have qp damage... if not stick with stock body |

People don't even like rocking stock wheels on stock body, You need something with a lip for widebody, save yourself the trouble man

aiight seems like i shouldve out some more info on here for people that think they just have for comment like an ass ... and ty to those who honestly did answered my question ...
ok now ... so i have a s14 ... previous owner straight ghettoed the car in all aspects ive been doing my best to get it to a typical status ... but long story short ... looks like he took a bat and a towel or something cause fenders aint supposed to be rolled like that ... they're shit ... wheel that came with the car are i think like 2005 track version 1? i think spec are as Front Size: 18x8.0 Offset: +30mm Weight: 18.19lbs Rear Size: 18x8.5 Offset: +33mm Weight: 18.62lbs why am i worrying about widebody ... im not worried about it i just asked for some fitment suggestions gosh dayam!!! haha regardless i got a really good deal on it ... zenki going kouki ... needed front fenders someone happened to have em but wide body ... and had rears too which would fix my messed up rear fenders soooo ya ... like i said their 30mm ... if u wanna make a smart ass remark at least be helpful i can take constructive criticism thank you ... all im thinking is wide body would be the easiest for my body conditions ... rims can be done but whats it worth if i have jacked up looking quarter panels |

so to be more specific in my question ... now knowing my wheels ... can i make them work with wide body (spacers??? how wide??? something?) or is it worth it to deal with sunken battleship status(lol) for the meantime till i can get down with some real wheels where i can pick my width and offset better

A 25mm makes the stock 18x8.5 in the rear flush on a rolled slight pull fender. (Call it stock for intents and purposes) so if you add anothre 30mm wide fender you will need a 55mm spacer. Dont think they make them in 55 so get a 50 mil and a 5mm slip. But your bearings will curse the ground you walk on. I for one dont feel comfy stacking spacers. Ive had 2 bad expiriences.
As for the fronts you will need like 40mm of spacing to get flush depending on how much camber you run. That being said. I am embarrassed running my Forged Rays Track wheels as track spares even with spacers on a stock metal body, as others said the wide body should wait. Buy wheels first and fit the body to the wheels. |

50mm bolt on spacers... they work just fine! it may not be "flush" but when you camber it correctly you should be fine!
