20mm -30mm wide front fenders????

so i was thinking after looking at my FB, and having had many s13's...so the question is, why dont we have any "minor" body mods like 20-30mm wide front fenders, something that would allow us to run 1-2inch wider rims, and NOT look widebody. I personally dont like the look of wide body cars, and still retain the look of a stock FB.?

as alot of you know I have 17x10's on the rear of my car (stock fenders) but as we all know you can only run 8 wide in the front on stock fenders. i really wish i could run 9 wide without flaring the SH*T out of my fronts (which is what i'll end up doing due to lack of any fenders)

but why not have the option of having a 20-30mm front fender that looks stock like FCs FD's and many other cars have?

my old car for example (dont mind the wheels)



and here you can see the rear exit



...i just really wish we had something like this...

Couldn't you just bring your car to a shop and have them roll the fenders a bit to fit the 9's in the front?

I dont know that there are many mods that allow wider wheels. Especially when most 1st gens owners (4x110) have a hard enough time finding wheels

haha..no wheel adapters for me, i think wheel adapters are a joke, im doing a respeed big brake/ 5 lug conversion...im wanting to run 18x9 +22 or so...

and drunken, i do all my own work, its looking like im going to end up using my fender roller to just flare it out....oh well, i just like the idea of 20mm wide fenders in front that are fiberglass (less weight and just look alittle nicer.)

unfortunetly unless you go with pocket flares the mariah mode 1 is as close asyou're going to get toward what you want.

^^^ not if you can find a set of the old IMSA front fenders. the most subtle widebody kit= the best widebody kit

take a look at the respeed car. it has that kit.
