Yeah, I rolled the fenders a long time ago. I actually beat the rear wheel arches out with a block of wood and a sledge hammer to fit the style 42's and you can see in that pic that they barely fit with 215/40's. It still rubbed on hard takeoffs, but not that bad. The only way to fit these bigger tires is to go widebody which is my next step. Tomorrow I'm gonna put the car on the ground and take measurments, then it's chop time

I'll be cutting the wheel arches off of the fenders and quarter panels, then welding a custom fabricated e30 M3 style widebody onto the existing fenders

Also, I still have that M3 chassis bro. So if you want me to cut off the frame rails or anything and save them for you, just LMK.
