Default Recommendations for Custom fenders

Can anyone please recommend a set of custom fenders to suit.

I've got a set of wheels that I want to keep but they're stick out way too much atm.

here's some pics - https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=456658

Any help would be great. Thanks.

I don't think stretching tires like that is too safe. Perhaps with wider fenders you can put the correct size tires on without problems.

Wide fenders:

Front - ASM, C-West, J's racing (may be too wide), Spoon and Varis

Rear - ASM, J's Racing, Spoon

or several companies offer a whole wide body kit if you want to go all out.

(Budget minded may want to check out Seibon front wide fenders but we don't talk about that stuff in the JDM forum)

Also, you will have to modify your rear factory fenders to avoid rubbing with the rear fender add-ons. IE - cut part of the factory fender out of the way and rivet the over fender on. Functional wide rear fenders are a permanent modification so think hard about if it is worth it.

Or take your car to a body shop and have them modify your stock metal fenders. I've got the same clearances without tacking on FRP.

If I wasn't running a WB kit, I would go this way.

For the front I don't think the Varis will be wide enough. You might want to look at the very least the ASM/Spoon/J's fenders.

Ok guys, I couldnt find an exact place to ask my questions so I'm gonna bring back this old thread.

I'm considering aftermarket fenders, I like the vented look. Obviously, if I had the money I would go with ASM. But I dont have the money and I really dont need any wider so the Seibon fenders seem to be the way to go.

Now to the point. I've heard fitment on these fenders is so-so. I dont know a damn thing about CF. I've heard they have to be prep'd for paint a special way. Also, as far as shaving them to fit better what do i need to know? I wont be doing any of this myself, but I'd like to know, so I know if the shop I pick to do the job is doing it right.

Thanx for any help

as far as seibon, its a hit and miss. sometimes its perfect fit some not. the seibon will only bring it out 10mm. you have to shave of the inner lips you have more clearances for the tire you're running. I suggest you run at least 1.5-2 degree camber in the front and 2.5 degree camber in the rear so you can keep the 255's. roll the fenders in the rear, move the bumper bolt further back and that should work with your Works.
