It'd probably look out of place. The widebody kits are just too extreme and ruin the lines of the car. Rolling the fenders out a bit may look sweet, but a widebody kit I personally is ugly. Someone will probably show up with a photochop of it.

I too want to run something to widen the rear of my car. When you say wide body are you talking about the Danko panels? I want to run those too. Just the back. I have 11" ZR1s and 335s. They stick out a bit and I would love for them to tuck. The panels only widen the car about 1.5" on each side, which is not too drastic I don't think. Having 335s tuck up and in with a nice air ride would look more than sick. If I build up the courage and bite the bullet I will order the panles and mock them in place, then take pics. Oh well, That is all I have to say.

on another note stay tuned to my cardomain site, my 500 HP forged 383 is getting picked up
