Default Downforce front wide fenders

So after getting my 17X10 CE28's on the car I am considering buying a set of Downforce front fenders. How is the fitment with these fenders, any gaps or issues? Is there another brand that fits better? I like the Downforce fronts because they line up with the OEM front bumper and don't have the small filler piece like the Challenge fronts do.

Fitment on them is very good. I still need to get mine painted. Check out f20kills's photo album. He had the same spec wheels and DF fenders.

What offset is ideal with these fenders with say a 17x10 or 17x9.5? Sorry to thread jack.

i heard downforce products fits well for the s2k's. i have their sport carbon fiber front lip and it fits like a glove to the ap2 bumper. seems like those guys put a lot of time and effort in their pre-production for their products.

Do not hesitate to purchase Downforce fenders. They fit well, have OEM styling, and are reasonably priced IMO. I'm running 17x9.5 +38 with room to spare, just to give you an idea. I installed a CF Downforce lip on an Evo X and it fit like a glove with proper instructions and hardware too. Good luck..

Good to hear!
I'll most likely go with the Downforce fronts.

Downforce is the way to go, great fitment! I've got the carbon fiber version and I'm running 17"X10" +34 with a 245/40 in the front and have no issues. Also the stock body line on the top of the fender is sharper than OEM, one of my favorite features other than the clean +30mm transition.
