CF widened front fenders

[RazorM]

Since doing no compromise weight reduction where possible, What do you guys think about these alsatek 10mm widened front fenders?
I noticed also euroconnex also sell these. Fitment looks to be good. Price should be around 1000 per pair if I am not mistaken.
Do you think the widening is necessary here or not?
weight reduction should be around 5kg per pair, from the front of the car

1.2kg each for these and realoem has the standard front fenders at 2.8. So closer to 3.2kg off total unless I’m missing something.

re: widening, definitely not for any OEM-ish street wheel options, maybe makes 9.5ET22 or 10ET25 easier for the track. Remember steering feel suffers as you push wheels out further and a 9.5et35 is a lot of tire in the front for all but the most serious track drivers.

Depends on your needs and how you want the car to look. You can run 18x10 ET25 up front with stock fenders if you run lots of camber. Some people also run 10.5" fronts with stock fenders. You can get cheaper fiberglass fenders if all you you want to lose some weight for less $$$.

If you want a wide front wheel with less camber, and if you don't mind spending a decent chunk of change on the project, these make sense.

Cost wise, I would contact the seller directly and get a quote with shipping.

They seem to fit well, if you're having a professional body shop do it.

I weighted fender some time ago and if remeber it correctly it was 3,8kg, so it actualy would be 5kg total. Just wondering since it is the front, where it’s hard to loose weight.
but i agree that additional widening may not be needed

If you buy them, please post pictures. I came across their page, and it seems they produce quality parts, so I'm interested!

are alastek parts even available to purchase and (eventually) own?

the group buy teaser thread that was on this forum was pushing 1+ years of a product "in the making"

If you’re widening the fenders and optimizing weight loss…those two don’t go together.

I Contacted them directly since I am from Europe and they replied right away, the product looks to be available.

widening 10mm on the arch is not anything meaningfull to the overall weight of the piece, since you are trading steel OEM piece for thin CF. The weight is still down by 70% from steel one despite widening. If you really need widening is different question…

Well it would allow you to run square setups without 4 degrees of camber, so that's nice.

[usdmej]

i run the once popular 265/35/18 square setup at -3 degrees camber and fender clearance has never been an issue, fender liner maybe but that might have been caster related. its pretty wild to see people trying to stuff even more wheel/tire than that

outside of hardparked builds like euroconnex or bleeding edge track junkies its hard to see an application for these

FWIW I emailed the seller asking for a price, it's €940 a set plus €300 shipping if you buy from the Alsatek factory direct. So $1340 roughly. Expect to pay a little bit of import duty, call it $1500 all in.

Matt wants $1900 plus sales tax where applicable, and $300 shipping.

That was exactly the thing i was thinking About, but they say it fits. It’s also worth checking on euroconnex how they managed to fit that
