Who is running flares on there FC's

I am building a car for autox, track days and street driving and I am wanting to run 255's all around. I don't like the idea of running fiberglass fenders becease of fitment and streanth issues. I was wondering if anyone here is running flares in the front and what sized tire your stuffing in there? Thanks in advance.

I beleive there's a guy on here who runs 265's with Panaspeed style fender flares. With a very agressive fender roll (read: stretch) you should be able to fit those under stock fenders with coilovers.

I wouldn't worry about durability, a cone hit won't break it, and if you hit something hard enough to crack the fender, you will have damaged a stock, or a stock flared fender.

Never expect aftermarket body parts to bolt on perfectly, besides, every car will be a little different from wear and tear causing the body to change shape slowly over time, which makes it more or less impossible to have something fit every car perfectly.

Corksport, they sell them, or at least replicas of them, but I can't seem to get to their site right now.

Yes, thread revival.

Does anyone have any more information on the wheels/offset used to run 265 all around? Looking to build a track car like the originator of this thread.
