I want to get wider wheels. I've heard of people rolling their fenders? What about getting aftermarket fenders that fit the oem body. Like this one

Any other ideas? Right now I have 245. I want to get as wide as possible. Going for the aggressive sticking out the car look. Thanks guys!

 

Only problem with that, is your front is going to be unproportional to the rear, unless you get over-fenders. Than you might as well go with a wide body kit.

 

What about just rolling the fenders then? How wide can you go? Any good wide body kits that go with the oem ix front and back?

 

Rolling the fenders will only help with wheels/tires that are within the wheel well. Most Evo owners will loosen the bolts and "pull" the fender in order to get more clearance. You can also add shims in some places and "pull" them to get extra clearance.
When you roll the fenders you are just rolling the lip that protrudes into the wheel well pushing it up more so it won't rub on the tires when the suspension is loaded and the wheel is up in the well.
If you want to see setups and know what people are running check out the aggressive wheel thread in this section.

 

You guys know a good trustworthy body shop or mechanic that could help me out with this in person in the tri-state area?

 

you may also look into the "evo dave fender mod". it is a bracket that pushes the stock fender out for more clearance, and depending on taste (i happen to like the look) it may be another option than risking rolling the fenders and gaining minimal clearance and risk cracking the paint. as stated though running wider front fenders may make it look unproportional. there are quite a few options when going to wider fenders though, such as voltex, garagehrs, do-luck, and apr i think.

 

Definitely try the evo dave mod first...


however you said you're running 245, I'm running 265's on a 18x9.5 just fine with room to spare with just rolled fenders!

 

I had the chargespeed .20 Wider Fenders and they looked fine and i run 18x9.5+40 ENKEI NT03's with 20mm spacers.

 

Thats what I am running on stock fender but with a 26mm spacer

 

im also running on 265 17x9.5 +25 with fender rolled.

check the agressive wheel tire thread like the above post suggested...i did my research there before going with my current set up

 

I just went back to stock fenders, how much "bulge" are you getting outside of the fender??
