yes you can. The part where the fender meets the front bumper is the stock width...then it flares out as it gets closer to the door.

it's up to you. I would run wider wheels, or wheels with different offsets. You could also just add a spacer if you'd like.

Front will be 10mm wider
Rear will be 30mm wider.

I just don't understand why the wait for the Do-Lucks is so long. I mean what makes them different from any other Veilside or Greddy kit ? Surely the demand can't be that high

Got this email from DoLuck USA something tells me not to beleave them.

We are not able to tell me you which dealers have them in stock, we have not control on any dealers sales. We can take your order for the wide fenders, ETA is 6-8 weeks at this time and you have option of air freight for addition cost if you need it quick. Hope this helps, thanks.

Nitrouz is correct Toby.

Yes you can wait on the fenders. I have the correct width and offset sizes around here somewhere straight from Mackin. I'll look those up for you and post them up.

Yes, the wait is that long. I'm about two weeks away from a year wait.

There's another guy here who has had wheels ordered since Aug./05.

***Very condensed story***
After getting all the same stories from them that I've heard during my wait. They finally responded to an email he sent. He sent the email during one of their we're not answering the phones for an entire month* periods. They (Do-Luck-USA) apologized for his wait and told him they were gonna air freight his wheels to him. That was 4 weeks ago. Still no wheels and still no tracking number. I don't know about you guys, but Jay/Evo-R air freighted my V2 wing and I had it in 2 1/2 days, not 4 weeks. If Do-Luck-USA's mouth is moving, you can be assured a lie is being told. I'm not gonna say who it is, if he sees this thread, I'll let him decide if he wants to chime in. He and I've kept in touch since we're in similiar situations.

Do not believe a word Jonathan says or Shazade (sp?) for that matter. See my above post Toby.

If Do-Luck-USA's mouth is moving, you can be assured a lie is being told. I've been told that the mystery container is arriving in 4-6 weeks since mid-Jan. Each time the lie has been direct from Do-Luck-USA. I even had a fellow forum member here that speaks fluent Japanese do some calling and research for me while he was in Japan. Checking into Do-Luck-Japan.

If anyone has any questions, I'll be more than happy to oblige with answers.

thanks and let me know about that offset. I really would like to just add spacers and not get wheels. I like my sf challanges . But unless I can track down some finders guess no need to worry about wheels/spacers now.

what do think just order the finders and wait? I dont see any other way on getting these do you?

Found the correct size and offsets:

19 x 9.5 +17 offset - Front
19 x 10.5 -5 offset - Rear

I checked into the spacers, but that kind've ruins the effect/look of the WB the more I thought about it. I couldn't find anyone that made a 30mm spacer for our cars. The 10mm for the fronts was no problem. You'd have to go with 25mm spacer for the rear.

I think the best bet is for Tommy's source to get the fenders. They were able to get the hood for that GB.

I'm not sure about the SF's. When I was checking that was with my GT-7's. My rears right now are 9.5 +24, so I'm thinking I'll be fine to move my rears to the front and buy new rears in the -5 offset. So I'll (knock on wood) only need to buy two new wheels.

PM Volk350Z here, I think his name is Bryan. He works at Mackin and is a really cool cat. He got me the offset sizes for the GT-7's.
