Thumbs up Rear Fenders?

I started a beetle project this summer, your car was certainly one of the inspirations for my project. I have put on the topline goodies like the 4 wheel disc brakes, Maxx Struts, 7/8' swaybar in front and added a new set of gas bilsteins in the rear. I also have the same style Porsche rims that you are running with 205/40's in front and 255/40's in the rear. So now I need wider fenders for the rear, I see that you are running them only 2" wider, I was not sure that world be enough, I just put them on last night and eyeballed them and was thinking it may require fenders 3" wider. I'm also running 1.5" spacer/adapters on the rear hubs to get the 17x9's (55mm offset) to clear. Are you using a 1.5" adapter? And 2" wider fenders gives you good clearance?

Thanks,
