Flares/Overfenders: Pettit vs Feed vs Origin

Hey everyone, I've been looking around at different flares/overfenders for the rear for some time now. But I rarely see comparisons regarding how fat of a rim/tire the different tires allow for.

I'll be molding my on when/if i get some.

Pettit - I've seen David Hayes' car, looks awesome, after reading another post, it looks like 315 - 335 size tires work well with that.

What about Origin and Feed rear fenders? How do these stack up?

Thanks.

From what's indicated both

Petit and Origin are 50mm wide Fenders.

Personally i think the Origin ones will flow better with the body. They seem to have more shape to them. They are about the same price too.

The Feed ones are only 20mm I believe.

As a result the Origin and Petit should have a similar fitment.

The Feeds definitely not.

Please correct me if i'm wrong guys.

Depends on what tire size your trying to run and offset chosen, I run 315's on the back with feed flares I certainly have the room for 335's. What's my offset? IDK... I had them made to order and that was years ago.

camber also has a lot to do with wheel fitment, if your trying to fill up every little bit of your rear wheel well
