Default Pic Request: C-West Fenders

Most of the posts on the c-west fenders are dated to when they were only available on their honeycomb carbon..

So seeing how the cfrp's have been out for a while and I know a few people have them.. Post them up. Very curious to see what wheels these can clear

I would highly recommend them depending on what offset you are going to run. They keep the lines of the car clean.

I am running 16x8 with a 42 and a 46 offset on me wheels.

Personally don't like the look of pulled fenders. Which is why I'm looking into the c-west ones. Planning on running the 10+52 6ulr's. Around -2 to -3 camber

They're advertised as +10 but I know they have an inner lip that can be cut for more clearance, and I've seen them clear some pretty aggressive setups

If you cut the inside edge off, or leave 1mm of that edge, you can get 3 to 5mm more out of the 10mm fender.

On the Cwest fenders on my wife's car, I have that lip shaved completely which has turned them into 15mm wider fenders. Pulled OEM can go more extreme, but I like the OEM lines on the wheel arch. Tricky part is figuring out what to do with the fender liners.

if you wanna clear aggressive wheels just go with downforce fenders, they look better than oem IMO, they look meaner than stock

Downforce is too wide for a 10+52. looks wrong. And when you get wheels to fill downforce fenders they're too agressive for the rear.

I respectfully disagree about these fenders retaining oem lines. The outer lip of the fender is too thick. It looks great in a fender/wheel shot but with the whole car in view, it doesn't match the rear at all. Makes the front look bulky, in my opinion. Does it give more lateral clearance?
