I need wide front fenders.. Which ones are best?

I'm looking at a set of AIT or DMAX front fenders - which fit better, and which are wider? I just need something in the 20-30mm range. I'm trying to fit 275s under the front of the car, and the stock front fenders just won't cut it.

I am running the stock body otherwise, no body kits etc, so I want something that will fit decently out of the box.

I know Shine fronts probably fit the best, but I cannot get a hold of them, and they worry me slightly because the fender opening is cut lower than stock.

Thanks.

All will require work I had ait but bought shine a instead. You car easily shave the opening larger on shines. They are a copy of foresight's which were to give you the look of being lower and tuck look. Hit up jtp(hotline) he has the widest and I heard the fit nicely. I believe they are 50mmm!

Thanks. I don't need 50mm so maybe the Shine fenders will work for me. I don't need low, I just need clearance, Clarence.

I have some 30mm b-magic fenders from ait. they fit almost perfect. but were not much wider than my pulled metal fenders.

I then widened them to be around 90mm.

Do you think your AITs were a true 30mm? Closer to 20mm? Less?

I know this is not the drifting thing, but here is what I'm working with

My shines have more clearance than my ait ones. I'm a professional auto body tech, and I was impressed by shines quality and fitment literally out the box and straight bolt up wet sand and paint I fit my 10.5-17 equips with 225/40 no issue and they are a true 30mm I need wide front fenders..

Thanks for your input! Sounds like I'll just get a set of Shines.
