I feel like Serialnine fenders need to be added as a set to look right since they have a boxed shape. I don't understand why you don't cut the fender out like you are going to add overfenders and then just add flares like you did on the front. The flare can extend into the door if needed, just re-cut the door line. Do what I did, just weld on flares instead of the Serialnine fender.

Don't suppose anyone knows or has more info/pics on this? I've got a few images of it. That's the style I'm after personally.

OP: Look up a user on here speedaddict or something like that. He has radiused rear but not much pull (I think). Looks good. Won't fit your wheels though. I have some 11.5 -38 an on a stock body, boy do they poke!

Now that I think about it, I think Ulterior Motives sells premade metal flares that you could use.

Are you meaning how the side of the fender doesn't have a flat edge to it like this?

i dunno how to describe it exactly.... where the fender vents meet the door it just looks odd to me and the lower fender cap meets the door it looks odd to me. ,like it went fat straight to skinny with nothing to step it down some

Your instructions reminds me of this funny picture I saw... haha. I've searched serialnine and the rear looks pretty good. I don't like their front.

This is 19x12 -25 (19.5mm more poke than yours) on pulled fenders:

Thats a beautiful rear! But I don't think my craftsmanship level isn't that great to make my car look like that. Maybe with 5 tubs of bondo i can achieve that look. But this might be out of my league.

yeah, the vents kind of killed it for this car. It would look much cleaner without the vents. But hey! Fender vents are the new thing now I guess.

It's literally just an aggressive fender pull, front and rear, with a lot of camber on the rear.

So, this Wednesday if I'm not too busy I'm planning on cutting the inner panel of the rear fender then hammer it flat to the outter panel and try to pull it out to the max! Hopefully this won't raise the rear too much. I'm not going to go with a radius for now due to time. Maybe somewhere in the future. Have any of you pulled your rear fender to the max? And how far were you able to pull it out?

I didn't explain myself right. I mean I've got those wheels in a box. I put them on my stock body and like you, got scared lol. My rears now are only "10.5 +22.

Whats wrong with that? I assume the plate is off for the show, otherwise the plates covers it. To me at least when the plate is on it looks better. The holder is covered and I'd rather have the plate flat than bent x and y over the bumper face.
