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!

Been following this thread: Great pictures ( !! ) Would you care to comment on the install? Thought the *quality* of the PANSPEED was as good as it gets...
As per GB Rules I've asked Ryan if we can run a GB with special pricing + will include these parts when we get the "thumbs up" to do the Group Buy...
I'll be sure + post here when I know "how much + how soon"

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

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.

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.

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)

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

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
