Ha! that's BR's old car. I run 12's front. You can do it with feed fenders, that is what I used at least. In all honesty though stick with the 11's, you'll be glad you did. THe quickest way to get a set of those fenders at the moment would be Shine Auto, check the vendors section.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw those pics... "Huh that looks like the M2 car... why did he black out the decals?"
