V36 Wide Fender?

[ahxching]

Hey guys,

Just bought XXR 527, Fronts: 18x8.75+20 and Rears: 18x9.75+20

The both sits outside the fenders

Just wondering if anyone know of any cheap options to add a fender piece or maybe a wider fender so that rims would fit in without camber and without flaring the fender?

More concern with the rears as they sit about 3cm out

Morning Ozzy!

Nice shoes!

Did you buy them from Ozzy Tyres by any chance?

I have been eyeing them off for quite a while...

^^^ you made one quite large mistake in your blog though mate - to call XXR a 'quality' brand is entirely misleading. There is a VERY good reason why Chinese/Phillipine wheels are so cheap ....

Though Vertinis are made in Taiwan, they are quite highly rated for the price and don't have many known failures.

It is always a case though of Japanese wheels having much more R&D, much better construction and quality, are lighter and stronger, but of course cost a heap more. You get what you pay for. I had some Rotas on my V35 but after 3 years all were out of round or cracked and I had to bin the whole set. Was cheaper in the short run, but much more expensive in the long run .....

Haha, I'm famous

Ooooh yeah, the Weds are awesome! Much better wheel!

I recently put Rays Work Emotion XD9s on my 35 and love them. I don't have a pic of my car clean with them on yet - might give it a wash tomorrow.
