Default Fender flares?

I track my car a lot and am to the point where I need wider front wheels. I have a source of a VERY cheap wheel, 17X9.5" with a +45 offset. In other words, on the rear of the car, I had to flare my quarters about 1.5".
I mounted these on the fronts and surprisingly they are only about 1" wider than the frotn fenders. I COULD and have the knowledge to widen the fenders similar to a widebody kit(with the fender gap at the door), but thats just a pain in the ass. Do any companies make any bolt on flares that I can just bolt on? Obviously material under the flare would be removed so the tire can travel easily. Thanks for looking!

There's been a discussion in the modding forum recently about replacement fenders that are available, I believe up to 25mm wider (or, almost exactly 1 inch).

I thin the RAYS show car has a widebody kit. It would most like have to be ordered from japan, though. Pick up the edition of "Super Street" with the orange G35 on the cover. There is an exact copy of the RAYS car in there, and I think it has a wide body kit.

the rays (g-games) car does not have a widebody (the one you are talking about anyways...) They did use a TK sports (?) widebody for a while, but that is not what is on the demo car you are talking about... That would be Eddie's car... (Mackin Industries... they made an identical copy of the car in Japan with the exception of the interior bits and the motor work)... rolling them isn't that bad Cody... I'm running +42s out back with no rubbing... though if you want an aftermarket "tack on" flare, ASM is the only one off the top of my head...

Ah....I just remembers seeing somewhere the widebody on some show car....now that I look at the magazine, that car does not have one. Sorry for the misinfo. Should read before I post next time . Someone's signature on this board has a white widebody (photo at night from the driver's rear 3/4 angle). Not sure if it is a fake or real.

The sig photo that you're talking about is the new Amuse widebody kit. That's a full wide kit though, and not a flare. It's also $$$$.

It cost ALOT of money..and you have to buy an exhaust that is just about as expensive as the kit for it all to fit correctly

Unless you have the balls to take a saw to a new amuse widebody kit

The rear is already flared on my car....I want to run +45s on the front with a 275/40/17 tire; which is ungodly huge. It actually looks similar to the J's Time Attack car I believe, with HUGE meats out the front...Ill take some pics if I have time later today, got some kits to pack up
