Nice pics! To clarify, are these +20mm or +10mm? How about the rears? (I know you don't have them, just curious as to whether anyone can answer)

Also, I wonder how much the price shipped would be with the current rate... :(

That fitment looks superb!

will the group buy include the rears too?

The rears look like they may just be flares that require cutting. If thats the case I highly doubt they would attempt to have it as a GB

I am not sure, but if I recall correctly it's 10mm wider than stock.

+1 on the gb question..I want to get my rears too. lol

The rears are actually over fenders and I believe it does not require any cutting... the oem fenders might need shaving and cutting to fit wider wheels after the over fenders are installed though.

BTW I think I would go for the rears first then the front or maybe both depending on group buy

Indeed, I was talking about cutting the stock 1/4 panel as well as the bumper; There won't be high enough demand (~10 individuals) willing to put down the $$ for the rears, under those circumstances IMHO. The irreversibility/cost will keep them out of the GB, unless japanparts somehow wishes to include them. Honestly though, I highly doubt there is any market for them, aside from any individual who may had that vision and was likely to have already seeked them out/ordered them.

Pretty clear in this picture:

ouch..from the back it doesn't look like it's fit my kenstyle rear bumper..
any idea?

I think its possible for the over fender to fit your kenstyle... I am pretty sure shops can do something about it.

I agree with you, but its just so damn sexy...:banghead:

and with agressive offset G2s..lol

This might work if japanparts offers two options: one option for the front only and second option for the front and rears.

Don't see why not; I won't be making an announcement until after March 23rd ( we are revising our freight rates having been given a *terrific* deal by DHL! ) so bear with me....

*I still haven't had a "thumbs up" from Ryan ( BOOSTED7 ) for the GB*

From what I understand, Ryan is out of the picture since the change of ownership of this site. You need to email IB for Group Buy authorization.

Here is a close up of a rear PanSpeed fender, I think those concerned with fitting rear bumper trims will be fine but those with entirely new bumpers will not,,,
This one is wrapped underneath the MS rear...
I will also be interested in a GB for the rears(only)

thats damn sexy and from this angle you can actually see that the front fender is also wider than oem

These are hot.

For the wheel experts in this thread, what type of offsets do you think we can run and how much wider?

^+1..I am thinking about wider rims if I get the rear...

I am pretty sure it will be possible to run a 10.5 width with +22 offset with slight camber in the rear... actually camber might not even be necessary if its really 20mm wider.

The yellow panspeed 8 in the pic looks like its running a 9.5 width with +22 or +18 in the rear... not exactly sure which one but it has to be one of them by the concaved look

Thanks :)

It really depends if they are +10 or +20mm wider. If +10, a roll and pull of the stock fenders would most likely do the trick. Its quite hard to tell if there is an inner lip on the fenders - I'm guessing not as this would prevent wider setups. If not, and these were +10mm you could "fit" wheels that were about 15mm lower offset than with stock fenders. If +20mm, you could "fit" wheels that are about 25mm lower than stock. This is all assuming there is little-no inner lip like on stock finders.

The reason I put " " around fit is that really a lot can be fit with the stock fenders; this would just allow those who want to go wild to go even wilder.

That said, I'm quite interested in fronts + rears. I really thought Group Buys typically worked in that many individuals purchased at once which yielded a lower price; will that many individuals really be seriously interested in the rears?

JapanParts, will the pricing be better than 15% off of the prices listed on your site? Also, can you try to get the info how much wider than stock? Thanks for your great service!

^ +1 on finding out exactly how much are the front and rear wider than the oem. All I can say is that I am really interested in the rears!!! I don't really care if I have to cut the oem rear quarter panels because I am planning to leave these on my car permanently anyways. Thanks japanparts!!

Its 10mm per side for a total of 20mm wider overall, so thats just less than half an inch wider per side...
I currently run 275/35s in the rear on 18x10s +36 offset, if I end up getting these the 5mm spacers I have in my basement are getting put on...
theres no need to cut the rear quarters they're over fenders...

If I want to go with super low offsets in the rear to make it flush with the panspeed rear fenders, wouldnt I be rubbing the oem stock rear quarter panels if I dont shave or cut them? Well I guess we wont truly know unless we find someone with them... or get them ourselves and experiment... lol

yeah I guess when you put it like that if you want it to look right with a wheel thats flush with the fender I guess you would want to cut the OE...
