Where Can I Find Fender Flares for Evo 8 ??
.
I have a 2003 Evo 8. I use it on the street and for road racing.
I need more rubber and I'm maxed out with my 265 tires and still have mild rubbing.
I already have the fenders rolled and need to get 285's or wider Hoosier tires on the car.
I've searched and can't find anything that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Some of them need a JDM bumper, but I don't want to spend the money on a JDM bumper.
Does anyone know of any reasonably priced fender flares ??
Thanks.

Have you looked at the Evo Dave fender mod it should push your fenders out to run more tire

what kind of neg. camber you running? it doesn't look like much at all... I was running -3.25up front and -2.4 in rear. I had 255's all around and moving up to 275's and visually I don't see an issue.
and +1^ I am looking into evodave's easy fix as well...

You can either mod the front fender or buy the HRE ones and get the Voltex rears, and cut out the stock fender. Not the prettiest solution, but if it's installed well it can look pretty sick

i would have traded you my whole widebody front and rear for your front end. i have a one off custom widebody front fender,front bumper,hood, rear quarter panel flares and rear bumper to accomodate. im tired of it. if you know anyone who can paint your front end white, i would trade everything i have for your front end.
