Default Wider fenders

I was just wondering about wide fenders. Specifically front fenders. I've been browsing through the multiple fender designs and alot say they are 10+MM wider than stock. Do you need a matching bumper to complete the look or will they fit the stock bumper?

depends on the brand and style of the fender. the seibon and downforce don't require any modifications of the front bumper.

Since you're talking about the +10 mm one I'll assume you're talking about the Seibon.

The ASM/Spoon/J's Racing and replicas will come with bumper extensions to attach to the front bumper to make it more flush with the widened fenders.

I've been looking at them all actually just the 10+mm ones seem the most popular. Soon I plan on picking up some rear flares. Lots of rub due to the offset in the back with 255's Wanted to complete the wider look with the fenders

10mm wider is nothing... a rolled oem fender will give you more clearance than that.

If you bottom out by chance you will crack those fenders.

Let me be more specific. No rub in front. front fenders are only for the look. Its the rears that like to make contact.... Here's a picture of my rear for a reference.
I was thinking I could get away with a roll but she'll need more than that I think

Downforce fenders are an extra 30mm wide. Price is ASM inspired though.

Correct, they're OEM style fenders what will be plug and play to fit your front bumper, thought that was what you're going after.
