kit to mod your stock fenders to fit big wheels/tires on evo8 and evo9

evodave · Mar 15, 2009, 10:47 PM

new website is up!!!!!!!

http://www.fendermods.net/

Kit is in pre-production but i have some available in prototype form... $70 shipped includes instructions and takes about 1-2 hours. You can also completely remove and go back to stock if you ever need to. You no longer need to buy stupid wide fenders that fit like crap, cost a fortune or are wide but setup for running stock wheel well liners and need cut out if you actually want to use them to run larger fenders (ie chargespeed)

THERE ARE FULL INSTRUCTIONS AND LABELED AND BAGGED PARTS...its easy

oh and btw the crazy thing is this already makes the wheels/tires clear with almost no camber.....even a street evo should run at least -1.8 camber and race cars will run -2.7 degrees

specs on the wheels and tires are 18X9.5 +20 offset with 265 35 18 ao48s

pics....

pic of the kit

btw i used blue fenders so you can see the mod well

front to show it still meets up perfectly

will that gap be a problem for daily driving? Wouldnt water rain and snow get in there?

nope i have 3 sets for the flare size..... the pic is the smaller /lowest setting. it doesn't have a gap that would cause more stuff to get on your door.

obviously you don't have to remove your fender liner

If only you could make a solution for the rear. hahaha looks nice though

What's the max size give in regard to additional clearance? I'm very interested if this means I can run 285's more easily or even step up to 295's!

Wow, you're the man! I really like these, but I like the way my advans sit flush with the fender. Looks awesome on your car though!

J8dailo · Mar 16, 2009, 07:52 PM

how much wider than stock can you adjust it to? what does the kit consist of?

thisxguy · Mar 16, 2009, 09:52 PM

dave sent me the first prototype last week and i recently installed it. i will have a how to and review up soon

but for cliff notes, it's a great mod. this mod beats buying crappy "wide" fenders

unfortunately, im not home and internet is down at my place. so i'll have to upload and post everything tonight.

dave, i'll pm you later tonight

my 18x9 +29 RG2s dont sit flush anymore with 255/35 tire.

now i'm stuck looking to either upgrade to 265/35 tires only or look for 18x9.5 with 265/35 tires

i don't think rexspeed will produce the kit

.....although i am bummed that i never got a set of carbon window vents even though mine were used to copy and produce them

lol. PM me if you want a setup i have a few prototypes available

xceler8rob · Mar 16, 2009, 11:21 PM

So how does this work Dave? Front fenders only right? Can you include how you puled your rears cause I have those nice 18x9.5 with 20 offset and it rubs like crazy in the back with 255's I would love to drop it more, but can't stand the rubbing. The pics do look a bit like the fenders are really sticking out in the front from the door. Is the door just opened or something?

evodave · Mar 16, 2009, 11:27 PM

you mean like this

here is the setup i just did on my evo race car i am finishing.... btw its way to low i raised the car and honestly the camber wasn't in much at all .....it will be running more camber then pictured

info /tips

no you can pull it fairly hard without issue even though its 3 layers of metal.

yes , you can see the area above the flared section is indented.....always happens you have to put initial angle on the roller like this \ then as you go get it straight up and down like
this | to pull it and not flare it. most people do it like they do with 240s with a serious angle which is what you need to do only to get it started on an evo
