Like overfenders that they use on S-chassis cars? ive thought about this before but everytime you search for overfenders you get those bullshit flare things. itd be cool if someone took the time to do what you described.

I don't think anyone in this thread is concerned with function

I agree though. 255/40 works, but there's too much sidewall I think. The tires start hopping a little when you're sliding

I think rivet on style overfenders would work if somebody made them. obviously would be way cleaner if someone wanted to cut up their car.

ive always hated the rivit look...... some flares can pull it off like on rocketbunny or the karlton flares for the gd chassis subarus but most look like ****

While i agree the rivet on style isnt clean, i kind of dig the raw look it gives the car, i also love the way the gas cap door sits for some odd reason haha

rear tire fitment sucks...... doesnt match the front as far as fit goes.... not enough tire either. i dont mind stretch but i cant stand when rim shows then tire

yeah i hate the gas door. i dont mind raw look but sunk gas door makes me puke...its like it was a forgotten detail.

Youre right, the fitment could be better, but perfect is hard. besides that i love the rest of it, small tires ftw lol

i dont find fitment hard.... like i said theres a way around anything.... muscle car guys clear 12' 13' wide on 345s without issues...to me when you build a car to the extent of what you see, you build it around a wheel/tire combo and you make it fit.

Maybe he wasnt done yet Dem spacers on backorder.

Im more worried about getting everything put on my car, then ill worry about my spacers and where the wheels need to sit. More than likely my +28 in the rear is not going to need a spacer haha

Isn't the stock tune lean up top? I'm tuned so feel a bit safer beating on it a bit.
