I am in the same boat as you man. I am getting these fenders because they are the sickest fenders for the FD, but I didnt plan on needing wheels. I want to make sure if I spend money on wheels they look flush.
I am getting 17's and i have not read anything about people running 17s on their cars. LOL
does anyone have any pics of the Feed fenders on 17 in wheels?

Update:
For the fronts I currently run 18x9 + 25 with a 10 or 15mm spacer (both worked)... Advan RZ wheels. 285/30 tires with probably 2.5 to 3 degrees of camber.
I've also ran 18x9.5 +18 with 285/30 Regamaster no problem.
If you guys want close to flush with the option of running tire sizes up to 285... perhaps even 295, go with a 9.5 +15 to +20 with agressive (2.5-3 degrees) camber. If you want moderate camber 9.5 +22 will work easily with plenty of room.
9.5 +5 (aggressive) will probably only work with aggressive camber and 235 tires. This is all assuming no spacers.

That car you posted is sick. I hope my can look like that one day with the 99 JDM from bumper. I am probably going to hold back on the rear ad ons for now, but it looks like most everyone that gets wheels for the FD gets 18's. I still have not seen or heard anyone running the feed fenders with 17 in wheels. The 18's fill the gaps pretty well and looks like it was meant for the car.
I am looking at running tires around 265 all the way around, but since the car is not only a track car I would like for the camber to be at 0 so the tires wear evenly. I am also completely against spacers as I have seen people loose wheels due to them.

Man o man is this **** confusing to me..
OK I am fitting 19s to my FD with a FEED wide body kid =25mm one not the new GT3 kit although I love it. So in addition to this we are upgrading the engine to a 20b pumping around 700wbhp so I actually want the wide tyres for traction.
Bodyform RX7 known as RAS13B in Sydney runs the following
WHEELS & TYRES:
– SSR Professor SP1 F: 19×9.5+18 R: 19×11.0+22
– Toyo Proxes R888 semi slick tyres
Using the above table I would assume IF I were to purchase VXSS that I would have to run the +15 at front being 19x9.5 and +13 at the rear on 19x11 to achieve a 305mm tyre or more. Also keep in mind we are going to be running 343x32mm Alcon brakes in the front and RS rears. Would this work?

First thing.
Don't run 19" wheels if you are looking for performance tires. You have a great selection of wide performance tires that will fit the FD in 18" wheel size and very little in 19" wheel size. There are some wide 19" performance tires, but most are too tall (over 25" diameter) to work up front on the FD.
I run 18x11 +45 with 295/30-18 front and rear with 354mm brake rotors on stock body FD (rolled fenders). The 354mm rotor brake kit also fits under my 17" volks.
Feed now runs 18x11 +30 with 295/30-18 front and rear on their Touge FD with Feed front fenders (the widebody is FG and so you cannot roll the fender lips under so they gain ~10-15mm over stock rolled fenders).
You are limited to 295/30-18 tire up front because the FD can't take a taller tire than 25" up front without rubbing chassis and they don't make shorter wider tires.
If you trim up the chassis around the headlight area and maybe the backs of the fenders some (probably not needed on Feed fenders) you can run 315/30-18 tires up front on 18x12 +30.
With stock rolled rear fender with some pull (visible arch from rolling over fender lip) or the feed over fenders you can fit 18x12 +30 wheels out back with 315/30-18 as well.

I really only want to do the front over fenders and keep rear guards as they are just roll the crap outta them and have a good size wheel/tyre setup to cope with putting 20b power to ground..
Very impressive work any assistance would be awesome... Trent

Do you have some other images of your car from the rear and what coilovers & camber settings are you running to make them fit?

Maxed available stock front camber which is -2.4 degrees at this ride height of about 25.5" from ground to highest point in fender arch.
Minimum available rear camber which is -1.2 degrees at this ride height.
You can see lots of pics on my build thread
