Default Fender Options

I need to get my Fender replaced due to the wheel pulling the metal outwards..I can't get it to stop. SUCKS.

I'm not even that low and my wheels are only 225 up front with some extra camber. What's going on!?!?

Anyway, to repaint and fix the fender it's like 600.00. Why don't I just replace both fenders with something better?

What are my options if I don't want to get a new front bumper as well? Thanks

Are you autocrossing your car?

Yes, auto crossing occasionally.

I want to stick with factory fenders...rolling is so hard up front. and it's already been done...I haven't flared them out though...looks kinda ghetto if you don't do it JUST right. Even still, flared out..it looks weird 'cause the fender edge goes from thick to skinny back to thick..doesn't look right.

What are some options for aftermarket quality fenders that don't require a new wider front bumper?

thanks!

I had 17x8 +45 now I have 17x8 +49 and it STILL Happens. (225/45/17)

once again, I'm lowered..but not slammed at all. I'd say that the top of the tire is one fingerwidth from the fender.

How much camber do you have? The fender was rolled right? wheel liner cut?
I have 17x8 +44 wheels up front but with a 215 tire. I am lowered about 2 inches with zero gap up front. I have no rubbing issues. -1.5 camber and rolled fenders.

camber isn't crazy, but definitely more than stock. (I don't have the numbers off the top of my head). The fender was semi-rolled...the guy said there's no lip to roll! wheel liner wasn't really cut. I think 215 and 225 would make a difference..

It's just when I turn right on a driveway or something the tire frigg'n pulls the fender OUT. I've already spent 700.00 fixing it once. happened again a week later.

FAIL.

One finger width is pretty slammed...

Also, it would really help if you posted pictures.
