Rear Fender Flares/Rolling/etc

[nitronatefc]

Awesome thread. Much like WE3RX7, I have ShineAuto front fenders sitting in the garage awaiting install. I wanted to widen the rears slightly as well, just to keep the front/rear width perspective equal. I like what you did, Josh. As I have access to an eastwood roller locally, I think this is the route I will take on my car too. I have a Vert, so I was skeptical how molding on a wide rear fender would turn out looking (Nobody needs to post a picture of Juice's car. I am referring to "narrow" 30-50mm wider rear fenders ) In the end, I want my car to appear stock to the average person who has never heard of an RX-7

Josh - thats the pic I remember seeing and liked, and your setup is almost spot on to what I want to run for the wheel as well. Any other pics of the rear fender, from different angles? How did you pull it out?

With the right offset you can fit a 255/40 and 275/40 stagger with stock fenders. The front may require a slight roll but there is no need for replacement fenders to fit that size tire.

I believe wheels will be 8.5 +30 front and 9.5 + 35 in the rear. Check the FC Wheel fitment tread on the evil forum and look for Blue TII's setup.

Now if you want a rear fender to match your front fenders, I believe you are in for a little custom work. Either FG or sheet metal. If you do FiberGlass, i would pulls a mold off of the near finished product incase you end up in a wreck. Use the mold to pull a new piece and viola, done.

Making your own rear fenders from scratch wouldn't be that hard at all, just VERY time consuming.
