The fenders have to go .. no room for the stock units, might be able to cob something if you needed to .. for the rear, I've got a Transit bag that would block spray... the big plus is they come with Schwalbe Kojak tires, which are a very fast tire.. your gear inches will also go up to 60 due to diameter change... I love the 18" wheels (which come with new disc rotors and freewheel), single best upgrade for my Chinese Strida.. I ride it almost every day and have had no problems with the wheels..
