well. on the j's racing kit.. it fits on perfect... no any modifications to the j's kit.

the shine's fender are really tough to fit, even the rear fender flare don't go really well too..(maybe that's why they don't show such nice pictures as the bumper pictures they show on thier thread)

but.. thx to the body shop, they did well on everything..

u could have easily fit those wheels on stock body....since u have wider front fenders and rear overs, u should have gone way more aggressive imo

Good call on pulling the rear bumper out onthe sides to blend in the over fenders. Looking good

that's a 9.5 +38 with 265 , i don't think i can go more aggressive..

the rear panel are really tough to make it work.
unless u got a full wide body design like amuse or tracy sport..

and also i am going vortech sc with 12 psi.. so with that kind of power i pushing down, i can't go with so much camber... otherwise it's not going to be good for straight line accelerating..

correct me if i am wrong..

hes right u can fit those on a stock body with camber and rolled fenders. the 35 sidewall also helps with not rubbing. you'd probably rub with a 45. and you can more camber and a more aggressive wheel. It wont affect your straight line acceleration as much and it will help your cornering ability. And that 12 psi makes up for any loss in acceleration.

well
maybe i am wrong..
but they way i see different car different set up..
the tracks cars, i seen lots of people going atleast a little camber for better cornerings.
but the track cars i had always see people doing 0 cambers, so the whole tire surface stays even on the ground for 100% straight tractions?

am i right or wrong?

thx
