Post pics of pulled rear fenders pls. (Voltex rears or pull rear fenders)

I’m contemplating whether I want to pull my fenders or get the Voltex rear over fenders… My car is rubbing a lot and I have coils already and the car is pretty high up already so I need to do body work…

current wheels 18x9.5 +22



Option 1:

Custom pull my rear fenders



Option 2:

Voltex rears



So I want to see aggressively pulled rear fenders to gauge which I like better.

Secondly the Voltex rears don’t look too good on a silver car I think. Check link to see fenders on a silver car.:

oh and here’s a link to my current setup

Thanks

If youre rubbing now... wont you still rub with voltex rears unless you cut?

The person I know running voltex rears didnt have to cut, and that was because he wasnt rubbing before the install

its definitely a big committment you have to make whether to go all out w/ Voltex or just pull fenders.

I did it because it wasn't an issue for me, and i wanted to cut the rear fenders to accomondate larger wheels (18x10.5).

Even at 18x9.5 (old setup) we were experiencing a lot of rubbing when suspension is fully compressed.

I will post some pix later when its ready

yeah cus the body shop gave me a quote for pulling the fenders and adding metal to make it wider and all was like 5k-6k... when its all said and done... so voltex is a cheaper option for me... right now the polls are 5 and 5 but voltex as of now is a lot cheaper

notice my pull on my fenders...its always hard to A: get it right and not put a slight kink above the roll....which btw looks like crap. B: not crack the paint ....but i think we got it down on the evos.....check it out you can easily see how it gets way wider. No cracking ...EASILY fits 265 35 18s....i could prolly run 295s on these wheels and clear ....18X9.5s....btw we pulled it a lot as you can see and read in this post where this guy swears i have a wide body....lol BTW just grab and yank the front fenders...all ya gotta do there.... 10 and 2 oclock....and yank Its all even and smooth ....pics kinda make it look like it tapers front to back smaller to wider but it doesn't

its still gonna cost u a lot to get the voltex fenders done. its over 1k just for the fenders. they have to be properly rivited sanded primed painted. they also have to cut out the inside of your stock fenders so there is no going back at that point. its a lot of work and will cost u about the same I would think

u should get some close ups
i got the fender roller today
and i will post pics once its done

btw
17x9.5 et 38mm w/255/40s fits the rear with no issues as does the fronts with a 20mm spacer
im going to roll them a bit to get 265 and maybe 275s
i dont see why
an 18x9.5 et 38mm with a 255/35 wont fit either

Being patient and pulling the rear fenders will be your least expensive option. I have a similiar setup, but I'm running stretched tires for now. When I put on larger tires, I'm going to take some time and just pull mine properly and add a little negative camber. The voltex setup will cost 3-4k.
