Just have to post, because I'm so excited - just received my new 'glas fenders from Hank today... only ordered them Tuesday last week... and they look lovely! Very light and clean, they're gonna look sharp!
Now I just have to figure out how to move the rubber 6" out on each side... I mean, spacers are one thing, but the whole car's gonna be a foot wider! Sweet! Pics shall be forthcoming...![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
(no, this isn't for the ITA car)

It's a 924 Carrera GTR body; far wider than the 944 bodywork or 951. It's designed for 9's up front, 11's in the rear. Compared to late-offset 944 rims, there's about 6" to grow outward on the rear, 4" on the front. The early-offset cookies are the best, but still not even close to the fenders. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The late suspension is somewhat tempting, but then I've got those stupid alloy arms to deal with. I think I'm going to go the factory route, sort of a hybrid GTS/GTR, the cheapest way.

when I put the GTS rear flares on mine I was a little disapointed in the limited amount they added. With the late suspension I just fit the 951S 9" rear rims with 245/45 16 P0C's and 8" BBS with the new 245/45 16 S04 Hosiers. It took a fair amount of grinding on the flares to barely get a 1/4" of clearance.

Yeah, I don't think those are any bigger than the GT flares, are they? Don't look it.
Here's what I'm doing:

You can see there's a little more room.

Very nice, the GT/GTS flares barely give as much room as stock 944 fenders, had I known I probably would have gone with the "LeMans" boxed rear quaters that you're using. Best of luck with the project.

Here's pics of the actual stuff I took, on my IT car. Yes, you would've been better off with this setup. Hey, it's never too late to change! ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Stock motor, but these'll go on my 931, so 2.0L I4 turbo. Power output will be whatever it takes to keep me from busting through into GTSU.
