  • Pull or Flares?

    Just widened the lips on my old 16" BBS RS' that came with my 944 N/A that I now put on my 951 S. It rubs a little in the back when I accelerate/road dips/more-than-gentle cornering (mostly on the rear-right). I wanna pull my fenders with an eastwood/part shop max roller but I'm not sure if it can come out that much... Probably wanna lower it like 0.25" . I'm on bilstein coilovers all around.

    The other option would be going for the broad-foot fenders like this:
    It's more expensive and it makes the car look pretty aggressive. I might have to get even wider lips, haha. I'm kind of reluctant on cutting the fenders though, since only 110 Guards Red 1988 turbo S' were imported to North America.

    Finally, I could get even narrower tires (those are 205 front 225 back) and hope it doesn't rub :T

    Oh yeah, I don't really want to add camber to the rear btw. Just sayin'

    Anyways, tell me what you think!
    I have some pics of the car on 17" FIKSE FM10's I'll upload later (selling them btw)
    Here's how it looks on the RS' :

    Less tire and a pull would work. If you lower it more they will Camber in a bit too

      Flares would be badass.

        Here are the Fikse's. Pretty much flush but I don't like the offset :\ too shallow. They're the same width as the RS' though, so it looks more proportional when you look at the tires from behind. I'll most likely get wider barrels for the RS' when I get some more money. and Yeah, flares look goodddd but too much work for now

              Flaring the fender out like this would be ideal (possible with roller?) :
