Widened Carbon Fenders & CSL Bumper

[BBRTuning]

Higher offset would work if you went to a setup where the spring perch is above the tire.

it is.. just. The rim of the wheel is the closest. Again shows in 2nd pic below with another different 18x10.5 +25. There ain’t much room left, especially if trying to run say a 295 square. You may buy a few mm with a different damper body design.

Either way, I’m just not sure how much this buys you without the bumper to match. Also, if you’re running a wide enough front tire to need these fenders, then the leading edge of the tire will stick out far into the airflow. A wider bumper would also be of a large aero benefit (see: M3 GTR). These fenders look to be of motorsport or at least clubsport grade and with some (relatively) minor tweaks could be properly functional, IMO.

Here's what I'm talking about. This is at about 3.6* camber. The tire actually clears the fender without issue at the top of fender (I have flared and pulled the fenders). But the real clearance issue is where the fender meets bumper, which is where the width is really needed. Yes, the wheel is perfectly straight here.

It JUST clears here, but I've hacked a decent amount of stuff in there that I would rather not have. FWIW, with 60mm race springs, I only have about 3-4mm clearance on the inside, so going with a higher offset isn't an option.

This is a fantastic idea and much needed for this car, something I've been waiting on for years. HOWEVER, when you're really pushing front wheel/tire fitment and need the extra fender clearance, one of the main interference areas is where the OE fender tapers down to meet the bumper. To do this properly, the entire fender needs to be wider, as well as the bumper itself. Without it, you're not really gaining much of anything as far as actual useable clearance with some steering lock applied. I was really hoping that this CSL bumper was also widened in this area to meet up with these widened fenders.

I'm currently running 275/35 with 18x10.5 +22 square and have spent more time with the fender/bumper interface area than anywhere else, getting this setup to fit correctly for actual track use over bumps/curbs etc. Gaining 10mm in this area as well as over the entire fender would be huge.

Will the fenders work with a stock bumper or do you need the CSL?

It's his online persona - believe me you grow to like it when you realize it isn't personal. He's actually quite funny - albeit when he doesn't target you I admit.

I'll ask - but pretty sure he doesn't know as it isn't his car.

Don't defend me I was finna roast his brokeboi honda-tech ass.

Maybe he would provide the owner's IG and I can just ask them? You can DM me if they don't want it public. I could probably guess or spend an hour figuring it out, but there's a hundred E46 ring tools that look just like that. Def interested in these fenders.

10mm wider fenders almost certainly will see similar results with 10mm more aggressive offsets.

Reasonable pricing is going to be a tough one to meet to be honest - fitment is awesome. Still need to do the fender once the car is out of mechanicals.

Since you're talking to the company, can you ask them the wheel/tire sizes and alignment specs of the car in their example photo? For the fenders.

That's the spirit, can't get steak for hamburger prices.

I've been a member of both forums for over a decade...i dont post as often these days but is this your continual poor attempt at humor or are you just a ragging assh*le in all your posts? I asked a simple and relevant question about updates on status and pricing to the OP yet here you are with your continual sh!tposts as a response to me...add value or be quiet my guy.

Whoa…didn’t know i had stumbled onto the Lamborghini forum by mistake. Lemme go fix my tax bracket right quick lol

It costs what it costs.

Epoustouflant Thank you for the response though..

Any new updates? I’ve got a chewed up front bumper and a passenger fender with a dent on it. My Vert could use both of these if the fitment (and pricing) is reasonable.
