Default Downforce or Custom?

I bought some 18x9.5 +22 te37s all the way around.
For the front im most likely going to run 235/40/18 size tires.
Im aiming to close any gap between my front fender and tire to give you an idea of ride height.

Im between two options to make them fit , also keep in mind ideally i dont want to run more then -2 camber in the front or less if possible.

First option is buy some downforce fenders i know their 30mm wider each side I tryed searching i havent been able to get specs for anyone running them with agressive rims. Tire sizes , camber, etc.

Option number two is take it to a shop and have the
Custom widen my front fenders in order to fit my rim/tire choice at the camber I want.

If anyone has some expeirence or knowledge on this feel free to shed some light.

That is pretty aggressive fitment. Some guy was running 17 x 9 +38 (https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...=691689&st=125) and looks like it is getting pretty close. I think the Js fenders are 40 mm and people are running that sizing.

If i do get them custom done im prolly gonna go 45-50mm wider on each side.
Im hoping with that i shouldnt need to run that much camber or worry about cracking them.

Guess custom is the only way to go

We run our Challenge carbon wide fenders that are 30mm wider than oem. The Time attac car uses 18x9.5 +45 with 265s all around. It fits pretty perfect. +22 with the same tire wouldnt work for sure on ours at least. Not sure with the stretched tire... might still need camber.
