Wide body / Rolled Fenders...

GTR-M3 · 03-26-2009, 11:56 PM

Hey this is for everyone, has any one ever thought of going wide body or getting the fenders rolled? if some one has done something like that shoot some pix over would love to see this...
Now i am not talking about going really wide nothing to crazy something like to be ablet to fit like 12" wide tires in the rear and like 9" tired in the front.

I think people have done 9'' in the front
not sure about 12'' in the rear though

I was thinking of doing a set up like this but maybe not as agressive. i dont know what do people think, is it worth going into something like this or not?

You cant roll the fenders anymore than what they are. They are already rolled from the factory.

Personally I think it looks silly. This modification doesn’t go with the lines of the car, and way too much fender flare. JMO

there is nothing to roll ... your fenders are flush as they can be ...

i think M looks great and have excellent design form the factory ... I wouldn't go any wider ...

Plus you can run 9.5 front and 11 rear easy ...

Really, with no rubbing whatsoever? Please let us know the exact details, wheel diameter and offset and tire size.

Go with Klassen and run a 11.5 rear with a 315/25/20 Toyo T1-R tire with spec alignment and you won't rub.

WOW....that would be wide! IF you do WB expect to be on the car all the time and make sure it is a metal WB....don't do anything else otherwise it will look like crap later...I did it on my E46 with metal and never had an issue but will never do it again...way over the top.

i was about to tell the OP to talk to you...but i guess you have different advice now!

widebody looks lame. why would you want to do that

BMWDEMON · 04-03-2009, 07:32 AM

well the ALMS racecar is WB and looks great so everyone that is saying otherwise is...wel whatever...each to their own. I love some WB conversions but it has to be done right...if not it will look bubbly and out of place if it doesn't run the lines correctly. You can PM me if you want more info or help but I won't WB this car...it is already sleek and it is a ton of work.
