Riceking,

Most chassis (which chassis do you have, by the way?) are 190mm. The 200mm designation is the wheel track, or the distance between the outer edge of the right wheel, to the outer edge of the left wheel, with offset wheels. Most times, you can adjust the wheel track with offset. Using "0" offset wheels on a 190mm chassis will give a 190mm total width. Using 3mm and/or 6mm offsets will get you close to 200mm.

If you are eyeing that AE86, get "0" offset wheels with the body, in the style you want (provided, of course, you have a 190mm chassis).

Now,a fewchassisWILL be 200mm, which is why I ask which chassis you have. It won't matter if you use "0" offsets on those chassis, asthey will be 200mm + no matter what.

I'm supposing you are getting the drifter from NitroRCX. First, I would caution you, as NitroRCX has a bad reputation for customer service, and some of their cars seem to have problems, right out of the box. If you are set in buying one, however, those are 190mm chassis, so just get the right offset wheels, and you'll be able to fit that AE86 on it.
