Hi,
I have 2" wide rear fenders on my bug with 18x10 et 47 wheels and a custom Porsche 944/930 rear brake setup. This setup effectively lowers the ET of my wheels to 17mm. Anyways, like you put it, my wheels "JUST" barely stick out from the fender and gives the fender a "stuffed" look, and the tire does not rub.
In my search for fenders, I found an 18x11 would fit under a 3" wide fender on the rear ... call it an 11" wheel, 16", 17" etc.
You could also use a 17x9 (affordable) with 255/40 tires and a spacer or you could use the late 944 arms (really widen the track) and then measure for a wheel that fits.... lots of options to fill that fender.
