18x10+24 up front (hi disk so there is plenty of room for big brakes)
Vertex +25mm blister fenders
18x11+19 in the rear
rolled and pulled rear fenders (I will be cleaning these up and smoothing them out after the engine goes in)

whoa ! so if my wheels are +4 up front and -16 in the rear. . . that means on my car the front will stick out 20mm more and the rear will stick out 35 mm more ahhhhhhhhh!!!! but the vertex ridge kit is 50mm wider right??

The rear will be about 40mm more. and yes, the ridge kit is 50mm wider. You're going to need to stretch the tires a lil more in the rear and maybe run a spacer up front to even them out.

damn roo your setup is almost exactly what im looking to achieve. i love that pulled fender in the rear and i was trying to as much as possible avoid going with a wide body. i think i might just sell those rims i just bought.

indeed! I'm going to pick up a set eventually.....I have some plans for LED's and smoking some of the lenses as well...
If I were you, I'd go widebody. My car is going to be driven hard from time to time but if it were going to build up my other SC (the 400), I'd be all over one of the widebody kits.

im not even sure if its worth it , so i havent bought any tires for the rims yet, and yes the only way to fit them is with the widebody. it will be a very very very long process and a butt load of down time.

In the end, the target kit I got cost me almost the same as a Vertex Ridge. I'm probably going to sell my 400 but if I were you, I'd rock the Ridge kit on your 400 Those wheels would look sick on an SC

roo,
After you have the car up and running, can you write up something on the aragosta. I was thinking of getting a set for the next sc or gs after my car gets sold and the house gets done.
