Properly executed fender pull on 20x11 +12
Properly executed fender pull on 20x11 +12
Hey does anyone have pics of a GS with a properly executed VIP style fender pull on wheels with these specs front 20x9 -1 rear 20x11 +12 both front and rear are Lo disc. I am just trying to get a general idea of how it is supposed to look when finished. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Properly executed will require cutting the rear panels, adding metal, and stitching it back together. How you want it done, depends on how you want it to look. You could put arcs to fit the wheels, you could cut the panel at the body line, and pull it from there, adding metal to fill the gap. You could just 'slope' the fenders when you cut the body line and add metal into the door also to make it look 'natural'.
For the front, it is just a matter of adding metal how you want it to look, much easier than the rear. Focus on fitting the rear, then you could probably pull the fronts enough to fit them. If not, once you get an idea of how the rear quarter panels will look, you can have the body shop 'match' the front fenders to it looks uniform.
James (vipdout) has JP front fenders, which are 20mm wider than stock IIRC. He also had the rears pulled and shaved to fit the wheels in the rear.
Definitely go with radiused fenders in the rear, you can get lower, without it looking stupid with the rear wheel tucked in half way and the front wheels showing the whole rim.

unfortunately, I only have 19's, but give or take a few millimeters and this is what you get.. I have 19x10+0 which would effectively put the outermost part of the wheel in the same exact spot as a 19x11+12. In essence, it probably was pulled about 1-1.25 inches and the quarter panel is completely shaved. As you can see, I didn't have to put a hump in the fender and make it look wide body-ish
For the fronts, my boy phillygs3 ran a 19x9-3. He was able to just roll them completely flat and pull it minimally. No extra body work was needed there.

since you are on air, you can get fitment that is really close and drive up just a little higher so you're not rubbing the front fenders on turns.
Hey thank you guys for all of your comments so far. Excluesive I don't know what I want to do about drive height I would love to drive it low but I don't want to tear it up going to each show.
if drive height on 20's is at zero gap from fender to tire, you will be high enough (without a radius) to get around, but the trade off is that you tuck 3-4 inches of your wheel. There's so many options, you have to figure out how you want it, its preference
