Hey guys. I am transitioning my 700whp Prelude into a time attack track car , and this means putting some 17x9.5" wheels with some 275's and I'm not down with the whole "hellaflush" ****, and I want the suspension to be able to fully compress without any rubbing so I am going to need to flare the fenders, but I don't know where to begin and wanted to see if anyone knows of any DIY's or info on doing it. I have built everything on my car and would like to keep it that way, and the more I can do myself the better so if anyone has some input please share. Here is what I am kinda going for. BTW I am very experienced in metal fab so the more metal work involved the better.

 

one last try

 

you're very experienced in metal fabbing, yet you cant make flares? thats kind of odd.

Forget it. Mods please delete.

 

could you just roll the fenders?

 

I have been a steel fabricator for 7 years, and build manifolds, motors, and anything with steel/aluminum, I said nothing about body work, thanks for all of the help you provided.



Already done, and the 275 is far from fitting.

 

how much farther would they need to be rolled in order to make them fit?

 

An 1 1/2 to 2''would be perfect

 

if i were in your situation, i'd trim the fenders about 2 inches back. yes it'll involve body work.. get something to cut it, grind em back, roll them another inch or so for clearance, then blend it or pick up some fender flares or make some to match it to your car

 

I actually just found a link to exactley what I needed!
