Hmmm...dunno aboot this one...
It looks like a cross between a VE SS Wagon, and a Proton GTi (or whatever thier hot hatch was).
I like the wheels tho!
Looking at the wheel/tyre combo, I think it would be difficult to pass roadworthy with tyres and wheels that actually fill the guards. 245 or 255 at +40 offset (lowest legal) on 8.5 -9.5" rims would be needed?
Huge overtrack probably equals huger torque steer, too. Just too extreme and not real world enough. Great as a showcar.

That has got to be the worst mps3 I have ever seen...
i still kinda like it maybe not so wide though
A bit disappointing he hasn't gone wider, just the big dish.. You can fit 235 under the front of a normal MPS3.

No way in hell that's registerable here without an engineering check. That would involve suspension engineering I would expect. Suspension geometry completely shot. Stuff would wear super quick and break that much easier.
Holy **** that's a 104mm overtrack. Our legal max is 25mm (hence 40 offset min)
Not wide body but tasty. I've thought about subtle guard flares but unless one is willing to cut and shut the most I would do is use the flat wheel arch surface area and surrounding styling cues to blister that out a bit so it's not flat anymore. If you want more clearance and are willing to cut and shut I'd do exactly the same thing, just cutting the guards as required.
It would definitely be fun to mould up wheel arch trims. I'd leave it to a panel shop to turn that into clearance.
The widebody looks outrageous and is because in the real world it's just ridiculous. I'd rather get another 7mm of clearance so 235 at +48 offset aren't uncomfortably close and have the external appearance of a slightly flared arch so the wheel retains a slightly inset look rather than being about to pop out of the guard. "OEM/neat" look.
Thats autoexe nose with re-amemiya bonnet (roughly) photochopped in.
now that is HAWT!!
that looks hot tho
yeah not keen on the bolt on look either. i seen a cool flare kit for the 3 sedan on ebay that looks heaps good. if they bought something like that out for the hatch it would look fully sick i think.
