Default Looking for some wider front fenders..NOT a widebody

I am looking for some new front fenders, that are slightly (1/2 inch to 1 inch) wider than stock. My top secret wheel/offset/tire package just barely kisses the fender on bumps. They fenders have been rolled as much as possible.

I am prepared to do a sheetmetal fabrication on the fenders, but before I go this route, does anyone know any fenders that flare out just slightly?


Thanks for the help.;

The only ones I know of:

Do luck blister fenders
Seibon (10mm wider) suppossedly

Other than that either its Top Secret widebody, or do something custom. Care to elaborate on your setup? I'd like to know what you have that is rubbing--I assume Le37 +22 as per your old posts..9.5/10.5 ? What tires?

Thanks and good luck =)

LE37 in gold. ) 10.5/9.5/19 and 22offset rear, and 12 offset front! The lip in the front is huge, and the stuff looks hot!. 305/30/19's rear, and 255/35/19 front. I love the look, but just need a tad more clearance on that front fender.

Michelin PS2's. I'll have some pics by end of next week. My beast is currently at the body shop.
The wheels completely transformed the car...from smooth and bling...to "Top Secret" mean and nasty....I love the new look.

these would be considered a 'plug' the part you would normally use to make a mold... not a mold, which is the piece you make a part from.. sounds confusing,

but basically, yea, these are usable fenders, just have bondo and auto primer on it, need to fix it up a bit since Fiberimages who did the original mold production off it, broke them at some joints, but they're easily fixable-
