Overfender Questions

I have an s14 thats riddled with dents so Im considering rear over fenders to cover them. so I'm wondering, with 30mm over fenders, will I need to do any fender work to flush up my wheels? I have 17x9 +38 currently, a 50mm spacer should get it roughly flush with a 30mm fender. I've never seen over fenders on an s14 before though, so I'm not sure if I can get away with a flush look, no wheel gap without doing body work. I guess what I'm asking is, if I raise my car enough to clear 17x9 -12 with stock fenders, will the 30mm overs eliminate the wheel gap giving me a flush look? or am I forced to cut fenders to achieve this? Or, does anyone make over fenders less than 30mm ? thats the smallest Ive found. My priority is to cover the dents. Hope this is clear enough .

You most cut the fender arch and inner well and weld them back together to give you clearance.

Frankly car with 30mm overs on 17x9s will look really shitty imo, the wheels wouldn't look correct for the wider hips. You would need to run like 205s for a tire to make the fitment look okay but then your car will look like it has skinny chicken legs from the back.

If your set on overs, just get some wider wheels first with a wider stretched tire. 50mm spacers are definitely not good at all for your wheel bearings either.

Just suck it up and do the body work, or get some wheels that will look nice with 30mm overs and save your bearings.


The other option would be to go chop some clean QPs off of another car that has a smashed front end and do a complete replacement on your car. But since your not wanting to fix the dents, I doubt you would want to undertake this task.

Good luck
