ASM Fenders
I am thinking about going with wider fenders like ASM and I want to run wider tires...let say 235 front with typical Volks CE-11 17 x7.5 +50.
With that, would ASM fenders and this set up look right?
Would that work or should I think about getting lower offset / perhaps x 9 +50?
thank you for your inputs.

If I'm not mistaken the ASM's are 25mm wider than stock so I think if you were to go with the 7.5's you would have to go with like a +40 offset. I think the 9" wheels would be a much better bet but 'm way to tired to try and do the math right now lol. Good luck, the ASM's are beautiful

you can run a 17x9+40 if you want up front like you said.
with 7.5 width I'd recommend a 25 or so offset using ASM fenders.
fyi, if you want I have access to a used set of oem style (no vent) 25mm ASM dry carbon fenders for 50% off usual price (painted GP White) that are sitting at ASM Japan right now. This kinda thing doesnt come along often, so if you want this used set (flawless condition), call me or email me ASAP.

I would have to think about this. I assume it would still be around 2k for the fenders. However, Dry carbon is very nice.

Maybe he just wants the ASM fenders. You don't have to have big brakes to want your S to have wider fenders.
I am giving an opinion and if you dont agree with it, then thats fine your entitled to your own opinion.
I am trying to help him not waste/spend money on a part that he doesnt really need. Whats wrong with that? If he wants them, then so be it. Your going to buy what your going to buy. But I am giving him "MY" observation.
I have seen J's wider front fenders on my buddies car with OEM brakes and its way off and doesnt look great and even he agreed so he went out and bought the Endless BBK with larger front rotors and it sits in there very nicely and fills up the gaps. He also went with lower offset wheels that pushed his wheels out near the edge of the fenders. Now it looks good/right on. Perfect example.
