if you guys want the look of those fenders get some petite flares for the rear, not sure what to do up front.

I do not know the offset of thye wheels. I cannot go lower as i have rubbing issues mainly on back rear arches on high speeds. I have HKS coilover which has 6 or 8kg spring on the rear. I must use different coiloverwith 12kg springs to avoid rubbing issues.
The bodykit is the original chargespeed widebody which is 25mm front and 50mm rear wide.

have you tried putting a bit of camber in the rear, seeing from your pick you should be able to go a lot lower with slight camber just fine.. are you inner fenders cut?

What do you mean, centered angle? You mean like take a pic from above the fender looking straight down?

This is the most recent pic I have like that, but my camera sucks. I'll see if I can find some better ones, but I might have to let someone else take it with a better camera haha.

Actually they weren't all that wavy when we did it. But they did get finished with filler and sanded. I'm just a perfectionist, and I can tell one side isn't as wide as the other haha. Other than that they look fine.

^No, but not far off. These are AME TM02, branded AME but still made by Enkei. I sold the RPF1s to my roommate Et3rNaL.

I have -1,5 front camber and -3 rear and i am still having rubbering isssues on rear. My rear stock fenders are fully cutted and attached with the chargespeed´s fenders. The problem is with the HKS Hypermax drag coilover that is way too soft.

Vitafist I sure hope you have riot proof parking wherever you keep that thing. That must be hard living there in these times. The other thing I was thinking about is the last time I saw a picture of an FD parked at a Marina, there was a malfunction with the autostart and it drove itself into the water. Anyone else remember that video?

The front should fit just fine. The rear...depending on what offset, if you're looking at +15 you'll have to pull your fender about 2 inches haha. You'd have to go with an offset that's not aggressive at all to make it work with a stock fender I think, and even then it might not work.

A +25 for the rear should be ok and no pulling needed.

Actually I think you might be right. I keep forgetting that with the 10.5 +15 and 305/35 is when I had to pull it a couple inches, with the 295s it wasn't all that bad. I'd say he'd probably still need to roll the fenders even with a +25, MIGHT even need a slight pull since it's only 10mm difference and I had mine pulled about an inch or so with 295s, but might be able to get away with rolling and not pulling.
