1984 mazda rx7 gsl se

Just picked up this 1984 Mazda RX7 GSL SEv. Person before me put 20” wheels on it and cut the front fenders to fit them . I like the wheels but now stuck with putting back fender flares. Asking for help what people would suggest me to get to replace these broken ones? I’m going to strip the car down t bare metal and paint The Whole thing gloss white

Can you post pics? I think 20" wheels will give a very uncomfortable ride. If you don't want to use flares you can buy new fenders and different wheels Mazda still sells the fenders new).

To repair it, you will will need new front fenders which are still available new from Mazda and you may need to cut sections of the wheel arch out from a parts car and weld to your car to fix the rear. Who in their right mind would put 20" wheels on an FB?
