I think these wide body fenders look great.
- fronts look similar to APR without the air guide hole
- Rears look similar to Do Luck

I think im gonna run with these panels and ditch my original plan of running a mix n match wide body:
- Varis Extremor time attack front fenders (35mm)
- Do Luck blister rear fenders (35mm)
Total would have been $3900AUD shipped.. Absolutely crazy

Just wondering:
Are the AIT rear fenders really 35mm wider? Their website only recommends:
- 18 x 9 +20mm
- 18 x 9.5 +25mm

This CT9A is running Do Luck blister rear fenders (35mm) with 18 x 10.5 +15 TE37s.
Thats a whole increase in inch for the same wide fender.



Also something that I noticed:
This pic shows the front bumber being stretched to line up with the fender. You can see area of the bumper that is meant to be hidden under the headlight. Something would need to be done to cover up that exposed pop rivet in the corner.

i want to learn something and this seems the place to do it.

What is the best setup to run an 18x9 +22 or something similar?

Can this only be done with wider fenders/1/4's or can it be done on a stock body? I'm trying to upgrade to a 275 for my race class but I dont really have the budget for a widebody or bodywork other then rolling and pulling

you can do rolling and pulling. I've seen a 285 tire fit on a rolled and pulled fender

okay, well then thats awesome, I didnt realize you could run a tire that wide on a stock fender.. I also saw EvoDan's website where they sell the factory front fender extentions. I really liked that am for $70 with carbon mounting brackets and stuff, not bad.

I have my mind made up on what I'm doing for the front

now for the rear. I've changed my mind about the AIT kit, took a close look and saw some fitment issues I didnt like. So rolling and pulling, anything else? Is there anyway to make a custom flare of sorts?

Then why on earth do you have the giant flares. There is no way you can compress that much at that height. My fenders don't have near that much and I'm pretty low on much more aggressive wheels.
