Default Thinking about widening rear fenders...

I will be widening the rear fenders to add a little more grip with some fat tires (i already have the asm wide front fenders), so i was wondering how wide i should take the rear fenders???
-I was thinking +25mm to match the asm fronts
p.s. I hate the rear fender extensions by asm and j's cuz they just dont mesh at all
anyways any suggestions will be appreciated

Take it to a GOOD body shop. Be prepared to be without your car for some time, but they can cut and flare out your rear fenders.

I am in the same situation here, my case is worst.. i have the J's Front Fender...which is 40mm wider.... and hated the J's or the ASM rear flare... I talked to my body shop which did a hell of a good job with my body kit.... he told me that, the rear fender is hard to flare out... with stock.... it'll look uneven if you roll it out....

really looking for a solution right now... with the offset difference now... the car feels funny

Keep in mind even if you flare the rear stock fenders, it will not come anywhere close to matching the ASM front, and be costly. Hiro just rolled the back, (and pulled the fender out a bit), and flared the front. The method used for flaring the front fenders cost over $1000.00. Im sure modifying the stock rear fenders will be of similar cost.

I've got 255/40 all around on 17x9 +54s on oem fenders, rears are rolled, and pushed out a bit. fronts are rolled and pushed out, and fenderliners trimmed.

I dont know what you are trying to fit though specifically
