The wheels will go on at the same time as the arches

Thing is, I have no idea what my current wheel offsets are

Am awaiting reply from Shin...

Take them off and look for the size inside them.  It normally says, though I have a couple which dont.

Even so, your current wheels wont be as good with the wide arch kit as youll have more arch to fill.

I\'m looking at the Feed arches too as my offset is +18 on the front 18x9s and +22 on the rear 18x10s - hoping the wheels won\'t rub on those beauties!;)

Where you buying your arches from? As maybe we could try and get a discount. I can let you know how my wheels fit once I get them too.

[Initial-D]

Looking on the Feed site I think I have the largest offset that the arches can accomadate so fingers crossed they\'ll be okay and need no modifications for harsh cornering.

Hi,

I\'m getting the kit through Geff at RE:Worx, I\'ve already placed the order but what I\'ve heard of FEED, discounts for bulk aren\'t common :rolleyes: Guess they have a business to run

I assume you are looking at this FEED http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fujita-eng.com%2Ffd3s%2Findex.html&lp=ja_en" TARGET="_new">site (translated )

I\'m not sure what "with main point processing + 24 - + 22" means on the front arches...

Using their recommendations, your fronts will stick out 10.65mm more than the FEED recommendations (assuming +35 FEED offset), with your rears being 8.35mm wider (with +24 FEED offset).  From what I\'ve seen (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7782) your wheels are quite wide anyway so they may just fit right in

Hi ho,

latest spec is: -

FRONT Volk GT-C Face 1 18x9.0J +18 offset and 73mm rim
REAR Volk GT-C Face 2 18x10.0J +11 offset and 80mm rim

or

REAR Volk GT-C Face 2 18x10.0J +5 offset and 105mm rim if it fits.

This will put me as nears as damnit to FEED\'s setup (F +0.35mm and rear -5.65mm or +0.35mm) but without running with spacers

Sorry Ben I worked out your spec wrong (compared to FEED\'s), should have been: -

FRONT +0.35mm
REAR -16.65mm <-- this is so big (relatively - we\'re talking mm\'s here!) because FEED run with a 25mm spacer on the rear.  Depends if you want to run 1.6cm less with your current setup or +0.8cm with a spacer.

Have you ordered anything yet?

Chris.

Christ on a bike, I\'m keeping my 17s - this is all too confusing!!

[chrisBoid]

Hehe, tell me about it!  But I _have_ learned how to calculate all this stuff myself now

Wheels won\'t be over here till December though

Good job I ordered the spacers with the wide body kit as I\'ll have to run my current wheels for a couple of months

[zevans]

Well, I have to say, if you\'re going for looks...

...they look bloody good!

[Initial-D]

Cheers Chris thats most helpful, looks like I\'ll run spacers on the rear so I have maximum arch filled!

I havent ordered anything yet as I\'m in about three minds at the moment as to what to go for.

Feed, Chargespeed, RE Amemiya GT or 02 widebody.

Doing my head in at the moment!

Also the rear quarters can be flared out alot so I don\'t even need a rear arch kit I\'ve been told - so I\'m still left with a choice on front fenders!:rolleyes:

FEED kit below (a nice example which has a scoot hood like myself - check out that colour Chris, it could be yours!!

Chargespeed front fender

Re Amemiya wide body 02 kit:

RE Amemiya AD GT kit:

[Initial-D]

Ideally I want it to go with the FEED type 2 nose and standard rear end, possibly even my R-magic sideskirts.

Any suggestions or ideas weclome! (may be I should do a poll)?

I\'m leaning towards the Chargespeed at the moment as its different and very similar to the Border fenders. I\'d then have the rear arches flared out lots to get my rims inside!

[chrisBoid]

That\'s a great shot of the FEED wide body kit  Gives me a better idea of how it will look.

It came down to the RE-Amemiya AD and FEED kits for me.  I didn\'t like the way the RE-Amemiya 02 kit looked from behind  and I think I am hugely FEED biased anyway

As my wheels are not going to arrive until mid December I have decided to not fit the kit with my current wheels on as I;d have to buy expensive spacers (£390!) for 2 months of usage.  So it won\'t be done until next year now but it\'ll be worth the wait.

I don\'t mind you running with Chargespeed, it makes my car a bit more unique :p
