Front Fender Clearance???
 
hi guys! soo I just bought some new wheels for my FD. it's a 17x9.5x17 for front and rear. I think I have enough clearance for the rear, but for the front fenders???? I don't think soo. Just wondering if 25mm wider front fenders are good enough and will give me enough clearance for the wheels?


PS. I'm planning on putting 275/40 or 50 for tires.

I'm using a 17x9.5 +15 in the front of my fd with feed fenders on a 255/40 and it's perfect. I would say i may even have enough clearance for a slightly lower offset. I rub the fender liner in the front a little bit on the left when turning at certain angles though. I think I just need a new liner.

My rear is a 275/40 on a 10+20. I'm using feed rear Fenders and that fitment is perfect as wheel. Definitely enough space for a lower offset if desired.

awesome! That's good to hear. How much you bought your fenders for and where at?

My fronts are real feed and I got them in a trade. The rears I got from shine brand new.
