Default Can you flare plastic fenders??

My friend has a Buick Park Avenue, and he's into having big chrome rims on it. He wants to throw 21's on there next summer, but, doesn't think it'll fit. I was wondering if its possible to flare plastic fenders? If so, how is it done, and how much does it usually cost?

tell him to lay off a crack pipe and get some normal sized rims and tires that fit.

18 or maybe 19's at most with a right offset shouldn't create any problems...so before buying check the offset and width of the rim...otherwise it will cause problems

He's already got 20's on his car, but, he wants to go bigger next year. I can't tell him anything. For some reason, he says he's gotta be ahead of everyone else on his side of town.

Umm... if it's a Buick Park Avenue, it shouldn't really matter. The car should have metal fenders, not plastic. The only plastic on it should be a trim piece around the wheel opening.

Nope, those front fenders are made out of plastic. The rest of the car is metal, except for those fenders. It's hard to believe it coming from a Buick.
