Default Wider fenders

I would like to get between 8.5 and 9.5" up front and between 9.5 and 10.5" in rear. Does anybody know what kind of mods are needed for this?

I thought I have heard people running as fat as 10" all around, is this true?? However, I wouldn't want to make too many compromises.

It will also depend on the offsets you're looking at. I'm running 17x9+45 all around, and that required rolling and/or increased negative camber.

Tire size will also be a factor in deciding how well they'll clear, but an overall rule is rolled fenders, cut bumper tab (rear), and negative camber.

Thanks nitewing.

How much does rolling fenders generally cost? And is negative camber bad? Other than uneven tire wear I assume.

I just borrowed a roller and did mine myself, so technically it was free. Just make sure to take your time and use a heat gun to warm the paint.

Tire wear - I don't have toooo much negative camber wear on the rears, but I have a ton more on the front for some reason. Increasing negative camber can increase your corner grip but decrease straightline. Just really depends on what you're doing and what your goals are.

Were the J's direct bolt on? Do you have any good pictures of them on and painted?
