New Idea

Ok I was just thinking this would look pretty cool. I have no idea if it is possible, so I need some input. What I'm thinking is to space out the rear wheels a few inches and get some new rear fenders that flare out a little bit. I don't want it to look ricey at all. I've been imagining it in my head and it looked good. Also, how would it affect ride and handling?

Here's another thing for you to do in your spare time....find the 2 page maxima ad in the new car and driver 10 best issue. Do a little MAD magazine foldover action and you can see what a 2 door maxima would look like.

It's called a wide body upgrade its dun to porche's all the time. And some other rwd cars. i don't think you'd want to do it to a fwd car. Typically for a rwd car it helps improve handling and traction. on a fwd I think it would prob just feel wierd. Of course if you do it to both the front and rear it should be more stable and look ok so long as you don't go over bored. Prob only go with a 275 wide tire10inch wide wheel and match the fenders it should be good.
