So I bought some wheels that were too good of a deal to pass up, knowing the rears wouldn't fit without some major fender modification or over fenders.
Specs are as follows: 20x10 +30 and r 20x11 +18. I know the fronts can fit nicely without major camber, but the rears obviously will not.


Do you guys think I should:

A) Sell the rear wheels and buy the correct offset (20x10 +40)?

B) Roll fenders and camber (Not even sure this would work still)?

C) Fender flares / major fender modification?


I already bought a set of 4 cheap fender flares to see how it could potentially look. I have see one local sedan run them and still manage not to cover the door. If it looks alright I'd wonder how much additional cost I'd be looking at to modify the fender / install / paint them. If anyone has done something similar giving me a ball park would really help. One of my rear fenders already has an imperfection on the wheel well, so it's not like I'd be butchering pure perfection anyway. The idea of running a little more aggressive wheels in the rear is tempting, and even more so some fat tires.

BTW I weighed them for anyone who is curious: Rays Gram Lights 57FXX, fronts are 25 lbs and rears are 28.

 

Thats not too aggressive. I ran 19x10 +30 front
19x11 rear +20 275 35
-3 camber and relocated bumper tab.

nevermind. Sedan. I always get it confused. This may be a problem

 

Id opt to have the rears pulled to accommodate. Not many have gone this route. Most overfender because of costs

 

Wow, those look great! And I'm not usually a fan of aftermarket wheels.

Personally I'd do (A), but (C) would probably look the most aggressive and sporty. Guess it all depends on how committed you are to your car and your appetite for a high-cost mod that will likely offset the good deal you got on the wheels.

Not a fan of (B), too much camber makes the car look broken IMO.

Good luck either way!

 

Yeah the Sedans are much less forgiving in the rear!

 

 

I'm getting some local quotes on a fender cut + over fender install. I'll post pictures of how it would look without soon.

 

Gotta say the idea of putting in some custom bodywork/flares is a BAD one. It's going to be expensive to do, and if there's any kind of damage in the future, it'll be a (rhymes with which) to fix! I also am a fan of the proportions and styling of the G sedan and wouldn't want to mess with it. Swap the wheels for some with the right offset and width.

 

I have no problem with the stock lines, but I spent an extensive amount of time wheel shopping and I think a large portion of my own favorite wheels and sizes are locked behind sizes that don't play well with our rear end. That and when you see 315's on a G from the rear you might change your mind.

Anyway, to follow up: I got quoted $700 for the cutting and install over the over fenders. I will still follow up again when I get them, but I'll show you what we're currently dealing with:






I tried to jack up the rear spring bucket/arm but my jack stand situation isnt the best and I didn't feel comfortable. Would at least look closer if it was on the ground with some camber.

 

I think with a fender pull it might be pretty close since it will camber in once the car is on the ground.

 

It was cold, and a bit hard to do this by myself so this isn't exactly how they'd look. These might even be too big once the car is on the ground. But maybe not with fat enough tires.

 

I like where this is going

 

I think I'm going to order tires and ask questions later . I'll let the tires decide what we're doing.
