Well, yeah! Do you know what was done? As in his/her current wheel well specs? Or how much more room they have? If not, stop pointing out clear clues Sherlock, FYI I was taking about front fenders

No offense intended, just responding to your comment since you didn't clearly state front fenders.

It looks like in the rear he's added ~.5-1" of metal in a custom flare. That would be about right just judging by eye for a 11j +51 with what appears to be a 275/35 in the rear. Fronts are 9.5j +44, so you could easily fit that with a flat roll and a very mild stretch (especially since he's left a very small amount of wheel gap).

I'm sure s2kq8 can provide specifics, was just trying to help

Sorry if the text is bad, I didn't want to come off as a deck lol I've thinking about altering my stock fenders instead of purchasing the replacement widened fenders

Hey fellow members.

Actually i did not add any metal we modified the oem metal and stretched it to what i needed to keep a clean look, i will show pictures on what i did with the fenders. With this new setup everything is good, but i have to roll the flats now because tires are slightly rubbing. Specs are 18x11 +51 with 285 rear continentals, and front is 18x9.5 +44 with 245's.

Yes, just be careful and check torque on them every so often.
