ahhhh OK I get it now. Your attention to detail and ability to do all this yourself is absolutely amazing. Hopefully next season I will catch you at one of the events in the southwest (will you travel to out of state events like Arizona, New Mexico, Texas at all?)

did your fenders have a ton of flex because you shaved the lip off (before the fender savers)? Which be careful or their going to shred tires unless you put the rivets in from the inside. but other than that nice. Keep up the good work

The tire will either wear them down or just push the fender out, if it chews up tires its because its hitting the edge of the sheet metal

have you ever seen what rivets/bolts do to side walls? it can only push it out so far. And as its pushing it out its still rubbing on the rivet or bolt. not to mention the farther it pushes, the more force behind it making it shred tires faster. but if you have magic tires that wear metal down instead of themselves please let me know where i can get them. Make your patches longer so you can put rivets in an area that the tire will never touch, but will still hold the panel steady. |

Its not going to rub the rivets on the sidewall, pay attention. Also, have you ever rubbed a rivet with a tire? They wear down. This dudes car actually drives, so obviously the rivets aren't hitting the sidewalls.
I glassed sheet metal into my fenders so I didn't have to worry about rivets, but your car is more race styled than mine so I bet it looks cool |

ok, you keep telling yourself they wear down before the tire will. I only made this mistake and went through tires and fenders. Because it does 1 of 2 things. Either tire sits there rubs on everything in the fender (rivets panel ect.) and destroys the side wall, or the tire catches the rivets and rips them and the panel off the nice fiberglass fender. Luckily mine did both and i ended up buying new ones and letting the tires burn a knotch in the fiberglass for clearance.
your fiber glass idea is good as long as the patch is big enough that tire cant find an edge to grab and break the bond. easiest fix is a bigger patch and rivets in a different area. And rivets=metal (shity metal) metal eats rubber |

In which case makes you a dumbass for thinking it would be fine and you need to be running more camber, bigger fenders, or shorter tires. If you knowingly let it break your fenders......I mean lets face it, you fucked up What sizes did you pick up for the new wheels? |
