GTS front fenders are the same as all GT and later fenders in that the lips are rolled up on the inside for slightly more clearance to the tire than early S-4...outer dimensions are the same.

I'd love to have a Japanese fendered GTS here, I'm just waiting until they hit 25 and see how easy it is

This is equivalent to a Euro - spec so not admissible into the US without serious compliance mods (markers, door beams, and the like)

That is not in the listing but it should be.

Show me please where Porsche calls that a "widebody" mod; to me that is not a widebody. Somebody is just trying to get you to look at their ad. It destroys the original lines of the car.

Have not hear the term "wide body" pertaining to a 928. On a 911 C4S, GTS, GT3, TT/TTS etc., yes. T

The car was for sale last year for awhile, in London Ontario.

I knew I had noticed something different compared to my S4 as some point...

Jase.

We have checked one '94 MY GTS which has this 8" front wheels and wide fenders option but they appear exact same rolled fender as any other late 928. Nothing special about them at all and I think no one has shown such fenders to exist. Some factory marketing material mentions them and that's all anyone has seen about them.
