Default Widebody wheel fitment. Help!!

I just ordered the kbd rear 50mm Widebody kit and was wondering what is the best rim size, width, and offset for a flush look. And making sure it doesn’t hit the stock brakes and coilovers or rub the fender. If you have pics please post with your rim specs. Someone please help!

do you have the kbd 50mm Widebody? If so what is your rim diameter, offset, and width?

I don’t have a wide body kit. But as far as the brake clearance goes the offset is what you should look out for on the front brakes. For an offset of +35 or lower you will not clear the front brakes. I believe the lowest you can go without modifying anything is +38. I dont think it matters if you have wide body or not . I could be wrong though, maybe someone with more knowledge on this topic can shed some light. I have 18’ with +35 and 9inch wide wheels.

there is also a sticky on the main page specifically for wheels and fitment. Check it out you might get the answer you are looking for.

The offset of the wheel doesn't really mean much as far as clearing brake calipers. It's more about disk type ( hi,mid,low, etc) and shape of your wheels.
