Add me to the list. Just cheap XXR wheels, 17 by 9 front, 17 by 10 rear. Dunlop Z11s. 235/40 front, 245/40 rear. I love the wide look but wanted to stay reasonable tire wise.
Underground Autowrks in Indio, CA did the paint and instal.

Any spacers? What offset? Looks great!

I used the bolt on ISC 100 to 114 conversion adapters with ARP studs. This gave me 25 mm out. The wheels are 17x9 +25 front and 17x10 +20 rear.

Aren't those XXR's 5x100 and 5x114 dual drilled? Why the conversion spacer versus a regular spacer?

And thanks for sharing the info!

I just wanted to post a couple of pictures here of what happens when you buy cheap copies of the RB kit. As I'm in the UK, I was forced down this road because of the massive shipping costs, rip off Britain imports and the risk of it getting damaged in transit.


However, I now wish I'd gone the genuine route.. but.. I can make FRP moulds, so I thought I'd give it a go.. This is one lot of work.. but hopefully it'll put anyone else off buying the copies.. You will not save money in the long run..


Just look how good the rear right fender fits..








So, after much cutting and grinding, I got to this stage..





and now I'm here..








So, my cheap kit has turned into a set of bucks that I will take a mould off, so I can make panels that fit. Not to sell, but as a safety margin for my clumsy driving on track!!


Now, where can I get a genuine rear wing from??

I felt more secure using a really good quality spacer that bolted on. Plus I changed out the standard studs to the long ARP Studs. So the adapters are bolted to the car with ARP and the wheels are bolted to the adapters with a 2nd set of ARP.

Got it, thanks! I was thinking of running longer ARP's with slip on spacers with a very similar setup to yours, except I plan to go with 18's. Thanks again!

If you happen to have any additional photos, can you post them? I'm very curious how your fitment looks from the side. No rubbing with the standard rocket bunny cuts?

How much did he charge you? It does look nice

$2500, paint and installation with good quality allen head bolts. And re-sealed inner fender wells. And he had to cut and fit my Bayson side skirts to fit them also.
Jose also did my wing and front lip. His paint and installation quality has always been top notch and he charges a fair price.

Did you end up doing nut serts to attach the flares? Or some other method?

I think that's what you call it. Female threads that attach to the fenders then allen head mini bolts goes in them.

Is this what you wanted? As you can see my camber is a bit off from dropping the car. I'll fix that tomorrow.
