fender size and rim size

[Sandeep]

Hiya,

To keep this thread going, I thought I would ask for help as well. I'm trying to finish my wheel/tire/fender setup but need some info.

First of all here is the problem : 18x10 et47 rears with 265/35, Porsche 930 309mmx28mm rear rotors and stock beetle trailing arms with stock fenders.



As you can see, I need a 2" wide fender:



3" wider rears will make the wheel look "lost" in the fender and I don't want that. The question is, Is a 2" wide fender actually 2" wider ? I'm hoping the inside lip (under fender) with a wide fender can be shaved a bit if there is interference. The only makers of 2" wider rears that I know of are Bugpack and Glass Action (Act ?)

I want the tire to "Just" tuck under so it looks like the fender "Just Barely" fits the tire.

Thoughts ?

Thanks.

Sandeep
