if the wheelwells are the right size the tires will not hit.

The body can be trimmed to fit and that includes fenders , and as RCU said you can hardly tell the difference , RED

you're talking about putting a 10mm wider than normal body on a 190mm car
you will have 5mm each side extra space

it's when you put a 190mm body on a nitro 200mm car you start having issues
But like stated above it's only plactic, trim it to fit.

I once had a 190 porsche body on my rs4-3 nitro, it was tight but nothing rubbed

Picked up a 200mm body for drifting last week to fit the TC3 really looks good, Had to cut alittle on the back for the wheels , would suggest getting a Dremmel tool makes slicing and dicing easier, RED

With a 200mm body on an electric car some people dont even cut out the rear wheels because its wider.

I have 2 190mm electric touring cars. All I buy are 200mm bodies. They fit fine. You want to see what they look like mounted, check out my website:

you can also buy wide tires from hpi, i put a 200mm saleen body on my tc3 with wide hpi tires and rims, they turned the car into a 200mm cuz the rims an tires are 5mm wider on each side

Thanks for the compliments. The sad part is the WRX is the only one that I personally did not paint and that is the one everyone loves the most. I used that body on my Colt10 when I did my 93MPh run.
