Nice color combo

I'd keep the stock fenders.

My main concern is too fit the rear wheels 18x9.5 et22 275/35/18 with out running more than -1.2 or 1.5 degrees of camber...

Feed molded looks good imo


owners : john raza and rrr rx7

The new wider Feed kit doesn't appeal to you? I actually thought you would be one of the first to have it here. Would be sweet!

I say instead of widening the car for wrong offset skinny wheels in order to run wider tires

you could widen the skinny wheels to the correct offset and leave the car alone.


If you have a shop add 1.5" to the inside barrels of each wheel you have 18x11 +42 and can run 285/30-18 front and rear.

Front will need lip roll and full -2.5 camber or standard caber and the Shine wide fenders. Rear needs -1.4 camber or fender lip roll.

Alternately, if you are happy with 255/35-18 up front you could just widen the rear two wheels to 18x11 +42 and run the 285/30-18 just in the rear.

The most bad-*** wheels aren't bad-*** on your car if the fitment is wrong.

on both my cars i run 18x10.5 +18 on the rear.. on the red one tire was 275, on my white one the tire is 285. i have about 20mm more to play with.

as for the molded quarter panels, looks great in person especially on the red one. i was never a fan of the rivets/screws for this setup
i also dont like how the feed quarter panel doesnt cover the whole thing, hence the molded part

I have bought the feed front and rear fenders .
Not only to fit my new wheels but because I like the way it widened the car
Let's see how it goes...

Sure.

I am just pointing out that you can have the wheels modified instead of the unibody.

Less permanent, cheaper to replace.

Did you buy genuine feed parts or copies?
