The "Will it fit?" thread

Seems like waste of money and effort to cut, paint and install fenders for no gain...but it’s your car, whatever

Well that's the fun thing about looking at numbers on the internet vs looking at things in real life. When I said 'the fitment looks good!' it's because I was there

You didn't list offsets (...?) but the MOST AGGRESSIVE spec for GTC01RR is 18x10 +22 and 18x11 +16

those aren't even the limit of STOCK fenders, and then you're gonna be slapping on widebody?

It's gonna be sunken as hell

OZ - Just let him do his thing. Carbon Signal recommended a 20x10 -15 and a 20x11 -20 but hey, what do they know... He seems to be setting himself up for success.

I live in NYC/NJ area where we have this thing called winter that produces these things called pot holes. Some of which are massive and on the off chance I hit one, I don't want the tire to smash into the fender. So flushness isn't the priority. The way it sat when I tested it was just on the inside of the flare which is exactly what I wanted. All I came here for was to ask about best tire choices..

I don't understand.

Why run flares if you aren't going to fill out your wheel wells?
