    Looks really great, but curious why you didnt get some metal rear fenders to weld on - you went through the effort of bodywork and repainting, just seemed like a great opportunity to get wider rear fenders welded on to look flush and OEM like the front.

    Thanks bud.

    I thought about welding on e46 fenders but had 2 majors reasons for going with the rivet-on rear overfenders. One, I have had two e36 friends with custom e46 weld on fenders and both of them have cracks now from rubbing. Two, plastic fenders are WAY more affordable and also easily replaceable if they get damaged.

    I'm on the fence about it,

    I think I like it in it's glory days more haha.

    The bulges just don't fit the body lines in my opinion.

    But to each their own.

    Dialed the car in a bit more today. Went from 10mm to 15mm spacer in the rear (effectively making the rears 18x11 et 23), cranked the front coilovers down about 3/8", swapped the camber plates (for more positive camber), camber is probably 3 degrees now. The rear rubs a bit under WOT but I've found the culprit and it can be fixed with some careful file work.

    Looks even better, pics to come.

    Can you bolt the rear wheel/tire on with no rear spacer and have no rubbing on the inside of the fender - just ahead of the shock?

    Next time I get the car up in the air I'll take the spacer off (18x11 et 38ish 265/35/18 w/ no spacer) and take a look. I know it'll be really close on the inside, but they might clear.

    Thanks man, keeping it clean and OEM+ was the goal.

    Thanks! Widebody fenders in the front, flares in the rear, wide enough to consider it a widebody to me.
