Did some measuring today. The only way ANY spacer is fitting IN ADDITION TO a 10.5+30 wheel is with 305/35r22 tires (a +35 wheel will give you a little more room to play with spacer width). There is a metal backing plate on the rear side (by the door) of the font fender lining that my 305/40r22s almost touch and will prevent any trimming from being done. Any more offset and they WILL touch. so I and others like me are out of the game unless going to a smaller tire size. assuming 1" bigger diameter than stock, that 1/2" in additional radius gives you a little room to play with.

I would definitely be curious what that gap looks like on others with 305s on +30s. For those with stock 21", keep this in mind. the difference in "poke" is only about 1" between you and me, but i was able to run a 1.25" spacer on my 21" without touching the fender lining due to the smaller tire diameter. so a stock street pack 21" with 1.25" spacer can actually sit FURTHER outboard than my custom forged setup due to my tire size. which ALSO means, if I size down to 305/35r22s on my current wheels, I could throw in at least a 0.25" spacer to get some more poke. this ALSO means, that someone who hasn't built wheels yet, could possibly order 22x10.5+25s

if these overfenders can actually make the wheel well opening smaller so there is less gap between the tire and the body, then moving to 305/35s would actually be a good move without sacrificing looks. @Waido can you comment on if this kit reduces the overall opening size of the fender at all, reducing tire/body gap?

There won’t be any reduction in the gap area.

Do you have a straight-on side view? Can you add a red one similar to Rapid Red to the mix?
Not rapid red but you get the picture and the new design. Brought the kit down some and added the vent on the front. Super clean look

Was a price ever discussed ? I know you can't give exact pricing but a ballpark would help with a lot of decision making among members .

Not fo me. Looks cool but it will definitely attract parking lot pillar scrapes based on my history.

We are working on a little change as well. I’m going to open another thread once renders are finalized and we can get a count.

Working with ppl here / Facebook / IG and ticktok. Just trying to get everyone satisfied with the look.

We were back-and-forth on the vents the only problem I see is sometimes they can look a little fake in person

Depends on the style of the vent .

IMHO , the fender vents are what makes a widebody look widebody .
