Also just to add That the arch can be cut back so the bulge is not so big ;)

That is what i am after :bow::duffer:

I'm not a fan of wide arches. Apart from the fact that I think the Z32 is pretty much perfect straight out of the tin, I always think the wide rears make the front look too skiny. Wouldn't be so bad if you could do something to the front aswell to balance it up. At very least you need the front wheels pushed out as far as they possibly can, otherwise they can look a bit like a trike.

Not my cup of tea. But thanks for the pics. When ever someone goes wide arch they go all crazy and do the bonnets wings fiat lights etc.

 

I would like to try and keep mine looking classy and production looking :)

If you're looking straight down on a Z, the front does bulge out with the way the front wings are.. Sort of like an S2000, but more subtle.. I have never seen a wide-arch 300 straight on or looking down at one to see what the shape looks like and if it suits it properly, it's mainly always side shots.. but to my knowledge wide arch kits I have seen are all about getting noticed, and they do wonders for the presence of the car.

Looking down the side of this one, I think it makes the front look silly, looks really narrow, just completely unbalanced. All my opinion though:)

yes i do like the wide arch kits but do think they look best on the SWB.

yeah you could be right phil, however, that cars looks are still subject of debate on the forum lol, we need a new wide arch victim to judge lol.

Here you go then, some clicky pic angles of my widearch.

 

I voted yes based on looks but in my opinion the wider rear track is actually slightly detrimental to the ride and handling.

I would also budget for adjustable upper links and torque arms and lock out the Hicas. If your gonna stick with the 19" rims you will also need to consider your rear shocks, ride height and wheel spacers carefully or the wheels will be forever rubbing the arches.

Also if the cars got high miles you may as well fit new wheel bearings while your fitting the rest or they will soon give up.
