While swapping to late offset, I noticed the hard-lines under the car are somewhat rusted and definitely look to be unusable at this point. Searching the vendors, I only see replacement fuel pump/fuel filter lines and the stuff under the hood, but no replacement hard lines. Where could I go about fixing this problem? Should I buy a generic set and bend them to fit?
TIA!
TIA!

Buy metal lines, cut and flare - use the old adapters.
I know you cant just buy pre-bent metal fuel lines anywhere locally, maybe at a dealership but then you'll really pay for it there.

We'll at my store, Advanced Auto Parts!
, we sell it but lengths anywhere from 6" to 72". You would need to find a size that closest to the standard size, I have no idea what it is I never payed much attention to mine.
My best advice would be, if your serious about replacing them, try to take a line out or a piece and bring it in along with the adapter. The adapter is going to be metric and nothing will match it most likely, so coupling two lengths together will be hard. So, try to by a roll of it, we sell it as 25 Feet and make them your own length and use the old adapters, because those I assume will be hard to match.
