Default New Fender Mod Today
Well, a friend help me roll and pull the fenders today so the car can swallow the Enkei NT-03 18x9.5 40mm offset with 275/35/18. The front have a custom 10mm wheel spacer from CCW so technically the front wheels are 30mm offset.

Here's what the car looks like before the mod


Front stock untouched fender




Front rolled and pulled fender




Rear stock untouched fender


Rear rolled and pulled fender


Well, I guess you can put 275/35/18 tires on a stock STi body. Just need a little elbow grease .

Let me know what you guys think?

Dude you're my freakin idol. Flat black is the tightiest thing you can do paint wise, IMO. I've only seen one evo like that. With those wheels people will bow to you're car. I might have to jump on the "flat finish" boat for my next paintjob. Good luck with the body shop, 3 1/4 panles are not cheap!

Thanks. It was pretty easy as one of my friend help me. He has good experience in doing this. This does look very OEM and I couldn't believe it can swallow those 275 Hooiser's like nothing. If anyone is local in Salt Lake City looking to do some fender rolling and pulling, PM me.

To clear the brakes. The 40mm offsets of the Enkei will not clear the brakes without the spacers. CCW custom wheels is good to custom make the spacers for me. Not cheap but it's totally hub centric which is what I was looking for.

I will take more pictures of the whole car once I get the new stiffer springs and lowered 1 more inch plus more camber.

Stay tuned...
