Default Need fenders pulled for $$$

Just bought a set of rpf's and will be running 255's all around. Looking to have my fenders professionally flared to fit this setup. I think I will need a very mild flare on the rear, if at all, and a decent flare on the front. Anybody reccomend a shop or friend that is confident flaring s2000 fronts. From reading I know they can be a major PITA.

how low is your car? what are your alignment specs (camber)?

u shouldnt need to flare your front or rear to run those spec wheels/tires, just a good roll and alignment

Im about a one finger gap now. Dont have it aligned yet but I was thinking 2.5F and 3.0R. I will track the car quite often and the roads in Lafayette are probably equivalent to uptown. Just want to be on the conservative side and dont want to F'up a fender.

How low do you wanna go? Like Paul mentioned, you may not need a flat at all, just a good roll and relocate your bumper tabs. For sure get it aligned soon so you have a better idea of where you will be sitting. If you attempt to flare the rear at all be careful to not pull it too much cause the rear quarters are infamous for buckling.

9" at +45 is gonna be easy with -3 in the rear but the front may be trickier.
