Found a few more shots of that FEED kitted car and it looks very nice - tis swinging me towards the FEED kit so I think we\'ll have to start a FEED fan UK club!

I like the front fenders alot especially the way they\'ve been adjusted into a smooth lip insted of the vertical band on the originals.:cool

[Initial-D]

Sorry Chris - looks like I may get the Feed kit now due to the front wheel offsets mainly, the Chargespeed doesn\'t contain the offset within the arches and the RE Amemiya AD kit just doesn\'t look as nice as the contoured Feed kit... Check those curves!!

[Initial-D]

Side, are they the same wheels your after by chance..?

[Initial-D]

Rear view

[Initial-D]

and a full side view - a really nice kit (one of the nicest I feel). Sorry to hear you have to wait until next year but at least you\'ll have something to keep you occupied over those winter months eh!!:D

[chrisBoid]

Oooo that does look good!

Don\'t worry about it, we can start our own FEED camp

And those are the wheels I have on order (albeit in gunmetal) - freaky coincidence!

If you phone Geff early Monday, you _might_ be able to catch him before the order is finalised, tell him I sent you his way

[Initial-D]

I\'ll give Geff a shout on Monday to see what his prices are like - I may order directly from abroad and pray I can avoid customs...:rolleyes:

After trying to squeeze blood from a stone (get an answer from Rays through Prospec whether the wheels I have specified will fit) and threatening to cancel my order, they finally got back to me and said: -

"We cannot guarantee your wheels will fit and if they don\'t - tough."

Great, wasted 2 months much?  I obviously cannot risk buying these wheels and not having a guarantee from someone that they will fit, so I have had to cancel the order.  Bunch of @rse.

My choices remaining: -

* find someone in the UK who CAN tell me if the wheels will fit and they can order the Rays and provide a guarantee.
* find some other wheels.
* wheel spacers. <-- most likely.

Did I already say bunch of @rse?

Just specify what you think will fit.

If they dont fit, try running stretched tyres a bit.  If they still dont fit, make them fit and the car will look all the better for it

No one is going to gaurantee a wheel is going to fit I wouldnt of thought when its down to you to specify the size you need.  

Tough sounds a bit harsh though, but most these wheels are actually made to order as youll probably find out if you do order them.

Bugger! Sorry to hear that mate.

When I ordered mine I had a similar thing although not as direct! Basically if you order anything but the recommended sizes as listed in the Rays specs your on your own.

I took a risk and now I\'m having the arches made bigger to accomadate! Which although costing a bit more gives me a reason to have a wide body kit!  Plus I\'m still well chuffed with the rims.

I thought you had worked out the offsets and also Feed gave the offset range which you could use with their kit?? I\'d probably stick with the order myself as I\'m sure you\'ll be pleased once their on the car. They would be made to order aswell, one reason why they take so long!! Also why there non returnable!!

What you donig with ya Feed bits if you don\'t get em... I\'ll have em! my address is 10..... lol! :rollin

And look how awesome the front arches are now because you wanted to make them fit properly

I think your size (what was it +22 offset) would of been ok if the suspension and tyre size was right.

I just put my 9 inch +20 onto the S14 (for all of a couple of days).  With the 255\'s they had on they rubbed.  Changed to a 235, and they were fine.  I wanted to run 225\'s but I didnt have any.

That doesnt help Chris if he is adament on 275, but imho thats too big.

[Initial-D]

My rims where 18 x 9J + 18 front and 18 x 10J +22 on the back with 235/40 front and 275/35 rear tyres.

If I\'d gone for smaller tyres they may of just cleared the arches, more so if I\'d adjusted the camber.

Sounds cool Lee, putting your FD wheels onto your 200! Get some mad stretched tires on there with lots of camber!!;) Good round corners just no traction in straight lines lol!

[chrisBoid]

Hi guys,

it\'s only the offsets that I\'m worried about, I calculated them myself because no one would do it for me but Rays and FEED have/can not confirm they will fit.

Basically I need a garage who does this sort of thing to tell me the spec I need, and if they don\'t fit they will deal with all the hassle.

FRONT 18x9.0J +18 with 245x35%
REAR 18x10.0J +5 (ideal) or +18 with 265x35%

I came around to your thinking Lee, 255 front and 275 rear was too big

Without a guarantee I can\'t risk it.

I\'ll go with spacers now, so I can get that FEED kit on ASAP, so hands off Ben :p

Thanks for all the help guys.

[Initial-D]

Lol!

Glad that\'s sorted then!!

I never quite got the hang of working out the offsets So looked at Imamuras FD spec and thought hmm... they look like nice rims, they fit his car... I\'ll go for whatever he\'s having lol!!:rollin

I was going to say fit the kit.  Run spacers untill you find what your happy with, and then order the wheels to replicate the offset taking into accoutn the spacer.

If need be, your welcome to fit some of my wheels at an event or something to see if they go onto the kit

Ben -  The +20 rims are off a Skybus actually, but I have put them on the FD before.  Had a bit of rub, but if I used the 225 tyres I should of run then it probably would of fit.  When I put the normal wheels back on (same wheel, Volk CV Pro 9 inch, just a different offset) I thought the car looked lame untill I got used to it again!
