Fender Flares

Gus are there any better options than this https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...l#post11483554. I'm only looking to extend the rear quarters out maybe 1".

Rolling your fenders is probably your best option. Make sure you do it right tho.

Took it to a reputable shop and they cracked both along the lip so now I'm looking at other options.

I think we have commented on your wheel set-up prior. That +15 cant be fitted, in the rear, properly on the stock body. BTW, -1.5 is a perfectly OK rear camber

Seems like you have reached a point on this spec: Cut the rear fenders & install some form of overfender or sell this +15 for a higher offset wheel

Doesn't rub to bad in the rear with stock camber right now and my car only has about 1 finger gap of clearance. With more camber I think it would fit fine. Hell if I raise the car up some I prob wouldn't even need to run any camber over stock. I will say the roads are very nice where I live so that makes a big difference. I'm not racing or hitting huge bumps and that's where this setup won't work.

I'm looking at flares for a few reasons, avoid running any negative camber, I like the look and the shop did a crappy job on my roll so I'm worried the paint will continue to crack. By the way this setup looks so damn good even the wife likes the car now.

You should find a body shop with experience shaving/rolling fenders. Like find out where your local stance/hellaflush crowd goes. You can do less extreme fender pulls

-1.5 camber all around with 18x9.5 +15 245 35 and I'm good to go now. Didn't have to do anything aggressive to make them fit just normal roll on the rear quarter. Suspension had a good workout on bad roads and no rubbing.
