Spacers on all 4's. No fender mods at all. I'm on Tanabe GF210 springs.

No pulling. A&R Autobody out of Dulles VA did the work.

They cut the rear fenders, created a lip, reinforced with aluminum tubing, welded on more aluminum (or steel I can't remember at the moment), shaved, painted, and got it done in 2 days with no sweat. Cost me $800 and they are bullet proof. With a different offset I can fit 18x10.5's now.

It is a new quarter panel added. The pics don't do it justice. I will post some before, during, and after pics once I talk to Ray @ A&R Autobody.

I'll tell ya they are a great bunch of guys family owned with i think 40 years experience.

This mod allowed me to run at GT Live this year or else i would have sat on the bench watching everyone else run.

Nice!! I would love to see some pics of the process. $800 for that is cheap, that's about the price of Voltex rears and yours looks better and more functional.

Voltex or Varis was my only option before this... But with a 6 month lead time without install and paint... well you see where I was stuck at. Thanks for the comments!

now that you ask... I can't remember... What ever the stock quarter panel is made of. he only used 2/8ths of the panel to make the wide body.

I can't wait for my new suspension setup... It is going to have the perfect stance and dynamics.

yeah... too bad that my racing partner broke my front bumper during a off road excursion with a 700whp 350z during the last session at GT Live for the championship. Relentless 350z pit crew and team were a cool bunch of guys.

I had to resort to running the stocker for my last session. No worries though... this finally gives me a reason to go with the varis/voltex setup for next season.

If I could only stay on the track......

15mm spacers in front, and 8mm in back.

The offset is something like +44 from what I was told. Not sure on that...got them from a friend.
