PIC REQUEST: VOLTEX FENDER FLARES (fronts preferably)
#11
#14
Its going to look 100% better once you paint and cover up the rivets. I would not blend the fender flares with that lip. It's going to look heavy in the front as the side shirts are not blended. It's gonna look unbalanced.

I wouldn't worry about the gap between the flare and lip. I kinda like the space myself...
#18
I'm interested in seeing how this turns out, I am contemplating doing the same thing to my AP1 once my fronts arrive.After trimming how much usable space did you gain all the way around?
What are you going to be running for wheel/tire set up?

Well, as it turns out, the shop is not going to be able to fill that gap for me in order to meet my deadline. I need the car done by a certain date because i am driving to car show in September and still have a couple of goodies to install after paint. Now that a few of you mention it, I agree, I might not even notice the gap as much once the body work is done to the flare/fender and it becomes a seamless piece. It would essentially be like it was oem, only wider! So for the time being, I will not be filling in the gap.
As for my wheel setup, I have had a long saga since purchasing my Rays 57Xtreme wheels from Evasive and getting everything done the way it should be. This is now being done at a new shop after all the trouble the last one gave and they even had their guy work OT on Sunday to start my car asap! I mounted them initially after my last round of body work when their tire shop, unfortunately, scratched them up mounting new tires. I finally got them fixed so I will start off with those and see how they look. I just filed suit against the old shop yesterday, (lol they thought the yelp review was the end of it ) but that is another story.
The specs are 17x9 +45 all around with 255/40 Bridgestone re-11 tires and KWV3 on the recommended settings. This is my 1st time dealing with overfenders so i will need to play around with the wheels to get a fitment i like. I currently have 15mm spacers in the rear but would like to avoid using spacers if i can. I am not sure how much clearance i gained but they have the wheels/tire to size it accordingly. I told them to cut away bc i already attempted pulling/rolling and ended up with a nice dimple, which is where/when I decided to go with flares. When my tires were new they would still rub so i had to go down to 245, but still had issues on the inside of the well and chipped up the oem fenders. Ultimately, I might have to jump up to 18 inch wheels but would rather not mess having to sell my current setup.
Here is a pic of the wheels and dimple!
