Default Downforce front over fenders

Hi.

If I put some downforce front over fender will the front be more wider than the rear?

I try to find the body dimensions put can't find nothing.

How much wide is rear from fender to fender , not from wheel base?

How much wide is the front from fender to fender?

Just dont want my car look like a drag civic, with front being more wider than rear

Tanks

I'm running this setup. It looks fine. No issues with the front looking too wide.

Probably be so close you cant visually see the difference. Cant find any measurements from the edge of the fenders.

The downforce fenders are 30mm wider then stock, so its a pretty big difference as far as track width if your new wheels are maximizing that space, but the fender design does a good job of following oem lines so its not readily apparent or look too off at glance. From a performance standpoint though id prefer to keep the track width in more oem balance. I have gone in the other direction, with 7mm more track width in rear.

Factory has approx 1" less track width up front total, so 12.5mm a side.

My plan is to use downforce fenders and voltex over fenders on top of that , and voltex overfenders on rear. so its more 50mm front and 25mm rear each side. if it stay like equal leght side by side front and rear that would be nice and that is what i'm looking at

So your car is more wider at front than rear?

do you use any overfender on the rear to compensate the downforce overfenders?

I dont run any aftermarket fenders. You can do what ever cosmetically pleases you. IF I were to run 30mm wider then stock front fenders I very liked would run wider rear fenders as well so i could increase the track width in a balanced way on both axles. I dont see much benefit to just widening the front track width 60mm total and leaving the rear stock, besides it looking pretty strange.

Yes I know. I dont like that. That s why I want to know what to count before I buy. I prefer to be more wider at back than front. But if it will be equal front and rear I dont mind. As a track width e prefer more wider rear. Just like oem but with wider wheels and tires. Same proportion
