Why is your tire rubbing? Did you purchase a wheel with incorrect offset? If managed to solve the tire rubbing issue would you still go ahead and do a widebody mod?
The best place to go and seek advice in doing a widebody do log in www.udmowners.com ... There's several members that have done widebody tho mostly coupes

For sedans and touring ... flared wheel arches should be the order of the day .... my dream touring:-
The car above wears a 19" BBS CH with an aggressive ET20 fitment with the rear quarters cut, added to and welded to gain about 1.5" and the front added about 2".

if i can solve the rubbing issues....
i might reconsider...
sorry for the mistake... i think i'll do something in a m3 CSL kinda thing as i'm now using CSL rims.... replica of course...
for the rubbing issues i have already tried expanding the fender as i did that in Sunway...
the guy mentioned that if he hit it more.. paint will come off and the only thing for me to avoid the hitting is make it bigger which sort of leads me to make it a CSL look a like but with 4 doors la... hahahaha...

Very nice and i love the wheels ... You have to take proper pics of your ride next time :4: The alternative is to run it stretch i.e. stretching a 245 or 235 tire on a 255 wheels which should provide enough clearance and looks wicked. What's the wheel offset bro (this is 3rd time i ask already lol) and what's the wheel's width front and rear?
A slightly stretch tire on an E46 M3running on 20" but you get the idea

I feel for you bro..had the same issue last time..gets even worse when you have 4 ppl in the car..but converting to widebody requires some amount of $$$ and proper reasearch..why not trying other alternatives first, e.g using stiffer absorbers, fender rolling, etc.
wow silverbullet... you have a very very sweet ride..
fender rolling tried. went to a shop in Sunway but they said the front cannot do fender rolling.
So, went to a mudguard shop and got it banged out. every bang was a heart ache man... Perry brought me there... his car during that time was doing some bodykit stuff...
abs using koni + eibach.
rubs less but still rub all thanks to our uneven roads.. but i want to save my tires.... and HATE the sound it makes when it touches... dammit..
maybe my term of widebody is different... hehehe... my idea is something like a CSL look a like as i have the rims and might as well complete the look....
i want to respray my car so... i'm looking at all the alternatives...
cause if i change i will need to sell off my current stuff...
1) Headlights
2) Bumper
and i got a few more items to be put on sale... like original steering, CD changer, ori springs, original side mirrors.. need to go check whether theres more in the store

itula yg silap..ramai menyangka ianya racun..tapi ini la ubat yg sebenar-benarnye..hehehe..if you can't beat them, join them! jom borak2..aku bleh contribute idea
I understand bro...dulu aku pun same..turun darat je battery kong...lame2, alternator pulak kong...the best is disconnect the battery...takpun have someone to drive ur car around at least once a week..
bro yen, contributing to your questions:
1)Cost - normal fender knocking = rm2300
2)where - lots of shop in Sunway should be able to do it
3)issues - spending more money soon after...on car's performance to match it's garang look..
