GS Fender flares

GS Fender flares
I recently purchaced a set of veilside rims with a ridiculous off-set, and now they stick out of my car a good 4-5 inches.... thats just the rear, the front set ups are fine, (front 18x9.5 rear 18x11 offset is 22) so by any chance anyone here know where i can get flares just for the back of my car?!

wow 5 inches... thats horrible.. why? i would LOVE to see a pic lol - fender flares are the least of your concern with 5 inches of problem, getting rid of those wheels is def. a priority now though.. why would you do something like that without researching first bro...and you even put them in your sig already... lol

If it really is 4 - 5 inches there is going to need to be a lot of body work done to the rear fender, and frankly it wont look right on the GS, especially with the offset in the front being fine. We need pics though to see what it looks like

i was thinking about this a little more and its honestly absolutely ridiculous. if the wheels are that bad in the rear, you sell those and just buy two more that will fit the right way. you dont buy rims like that that are the wrong offsets then build the car around the rim.. do you know how much more its going to cost to get that work done professionally and actually have it come out looking right? actually it wont ever look right if they build the rear out FIVE inches its going to look like a stealth bomber you might as well just paint it flat black and bolt a jet engine to the top too... obviously this fender flaring work isnt actually ever going to happen and youre never going to get that type of body work done so just sell the rear wheels and get the ones that fit properly, or sell the whole set and try again! regardless good luck man it seems like youre in quite a bind

well is it 4 or 5 inches??? can you actually go out there and measure/??
it doesn't seem all that bad.
that mild 1.5 drop you got make them seem like you got more poke than wanted.
given the wheel spec, I bet if you get coilovers and lower it more, allowing it to camber in just a bit, a nice stretched tire....I would like to entaertain the thaught that you should be able to get away with pulling on those fenders.
I rather have a wheel with the illusion of a poke, rather than a sunken wheel

if a 18x10+22 doesn't stick out on a rear of 2nd gs.........a 18x11+22 shouldn't stick out more than a inch.....
I believe since your car is high, it looks odd.
here is a few pics to help you determine that a nice pull on the fender is all you should need
of course, along with, lower stance than what it is now,stretch tire and some camber.
all these have pulled rear fenders

My rear setup is 19x10.5 +29
I don't think that you are really sticking out too badly
Pics would be a big plus...Don't forget, you can also use the camber to help:to fit these
