yessir, all corners were rolled without a heat gun and a fender roller. go ahead and go figure how i paid the consequences for that.

you know it. i really hope to find me another set of these one day and use an actual fender roller to provide some clearance.

EDIT: i got the sidewall wrong, it was actually a 40, not a 45. =P

I have no PM's in my inbox. I'd actually like to avoid stretching the tire if possible? Do you think I could fit a 230/45/17 tire up front with a set Stance Gr+ Coils?

No you will have to run a small stretch on stock fenders unless you throw a bunch of neg camber and pull the hell outta the metal u cannot run a savage square side wall. This offset is the reason RE ran the panspeed over fender on the white fc .look at those side walls.

are you running any aftermarket fenders? because that's the exact same setup I want to run on my FC after I figure out what kind of damn suspension I want to use as well.

They aren't aftermarket but they are pulled quite a bit. I'm using jic coilovers on it. I had cusco coilovers on it before but wasn't happy with them. I will probably get some different ones soon...gp masters. And thanks for the compliments! I am currently in the process of a 1jz swap. But it still runs on the 13b currently, just want something different

I was thinking of getting 8's for the front, originally I wanted 9's in the front but I don't think I'll be able to fit 235-245 tire width without having to get aftermarket fenders. Stretch tires are for jerks. Considering 17 by 8.5's & 9.5 for the rears. Although I don't think they make 8.5.

Ever consider some Shine Auto 30mm fenders for the front? They look stock to the untrained eye.

I can't believe this one hasn't been posted yet.



I think this is styfu's, right?

I seen the fenders from Shine's although from some certain angles i always though they were much wider. I believe they sell the fenders for 300 a piece though

That's not too bad except for the fact that I'm really **** about having mismatched body parts.

$325 for the front pair

Well paint them and they won't be mismatched.

If you're good with your hands, you can fit a 9 up front w/ 255's if you're using coilovers. A good roll/flare will let you achieve that
