Do it!

 

So I took 2 days away from this to give me a solid amount of time to think of a solution. I'm going to try to fit the 17's with some 35's and get it as low as possible. I did some measurements and it should be perfect with about 2-3" of ground clearance once its all dropped down. Exactly what I wanted not dumpt, but clean and fun daily. So the plan:

I took measurements of the fender flares and how much of the metal under them I can cut away. I did this because I can try building metal flares off the preexisting metal... if it sucks i'm just going to cut it away and mold in plastic/fiberglass flares. I can't find any real good information on forming my own fender flares so I came up with this

(the inside lines will be cut away for the fender flares so I have some room to play)


With any good theory it gets followed by ghetto card board cut outs so I feel better about my silly ideas


seems possible...kinda.


I want it to be like the e30 stock fenders. Just worried it will be a wavy park bench...

 

it you use enough bondo or weld additional metal to the cut fender wall, you would be able to grind/sand it down for a smooth surface. status : one did something similar for his metal widebody I think.

 

ok this should be interesting cant wait to get the tires off the wheels and do some proper test fitting and measurements.

 

what are u gunna do about the wheels hitting parts of ur susp?

 

tiny spacer in the back and it clears because the negative camber follows the slope of the spring. Same for the front I have adjustable camber plates for the front which will pull the spring towards the car allowing for a few mms of space I need. I HOPE

 

Hopefully it works out for you, should look sick when it's all said & done...why not go full widebody?

 

Should I cut the flat arch off first and weld it on? what do you guys think?

 

I have no clue what I'm doing.... but.....

 

looks good. maybe a tiny bit wider would have been better but looks a lot better than i was expecting haha

 

Hmm, was looking pretty good till the fender disappeared

 

I hope the negative camber will tuck it in just enough. I can always do a light pull later.

 

does the car have camber kits?
looking good so far

 

You're crazy haha, but should look pretty legit if it all pulls through!

 

insane build dude. Can't wait for moar!
