Trustbran,
I've been searching all over this forum for pictures of your car and specs on your wheel setup. Can you enlighten me? The carbon fibre is beautiful! Original ASM?

Is there a link to pictures of your car? The gold Enkeis and BB are a great combo!

Any fitment issues with the Seibon fenders?

I guess I'm a bit confused but when you guys say "Pull" the fenders what tool is used?????

so they actually pull the metal outwards more? how many mm of width do you gain by doing this? I assume with this type of drastic pulling the paint must crack and the entire fender must be repainted?

Where do you guys go in the norcal bay area to do this? My front always rubs and I would love to get my front fenders "pulled" but I have not see this technique before.......

my rear are rolles and pulled. technically they are pushed, as i used the roller to push them outward. Same for the fronts. had to roll and pull (push) them out. Fronts you can usually roll and pull slightly without a repaint. Rears should be ok too, in the right hands.

Are you sure that the rears haven't been widened on the NFR? Is that car running so much negative camber? Those Enkeis seem to have a nice lip and they aren't any wider than the fenders.

Whose is it? He might clear this up.
