So it looks like I'll need 30mm front fenders to fit my godamn wheels.

Did a search this morning, and it looks like Origin and Dmax both make 40mm front fenders for the S13 chassis, but make 30mm for S14 and others.

And only other people that make 30mm fronts are like B-Magic or GTP or something, and I know that they have fitment issues, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows any other companies out there that make 30mm front fenders for S13s?

Specifically, S13 w/ pop-up headlight front.

Trying to stuff 17x9.5 -7 (+3 w/ 10mm spacer to clear 30mm Z32 front calipers) w/ 235/40 Feddy 595s under the fenders without running like -5 degrees of camber. Already have 20mm front fenders now.

How much they flare varies a lot, you can't really calculate out to the MM. Just get some and work from there.

Well, here's what it looks like so far...

Looks like I'm about 10mm away from that line on the sidewall, which is ideally where I want the tire to sit at the edge of the fender arch there.

Actually, from what I was told, the ones I have ARE B-Magic ones... so... I don't know, if they are, they sure as hell don't look like they're 30mm wide, because if they were, the wheels shouldn't be sticking THAT much out still.

Actually, we make a +25mm front fender for S13s also. You might get be able to get away with running this size, if you want to sand down the inner lip on our FRP fender.

arent you supposed to be able to heat up the fenders and pull them a bit to accomodate?

Yeah, with the ridge body kit, otherwise their normal fenders are 10mm.

Let me reitterate...

"vertex ridge is the only wide body they offer, and the fenders will only work with the ridge sides, and ridge rear"

So yes they sell 35mm fenders, but they only work with the third kit posted.

yeah that's what i meant

By "work with" they probably mean "flow with"

hrmn.... no i dont mean flow, i mean vertex purposely made the fenders and the rear overs non workable/compatible/etc with any other type of side skirts besides the ridge skirts. you cant get shit for that kit separate, they wont sell it. they don't want it mis matched.

Pretty elitist and cool of them at the same time.

Yes indeed.

Their Ridge system is meant to be installed as a whole thing all at once, as the fenders, bumpers, and skirts are all designed to slip and fit into each other so that it really does look like the entire car is from the factory wider.

Problem with that is, you cannot really use their fenders with anything else because it would look completely ridiculous.

At least that's my assumption as nobody has really ran their fenders by themselves without running the whole Ridge kit.

Well you could try to hit up vertex usa, theyre registered here and see what they have to say, i'm fairly certain they do not sell pieces of that kit unless you can prove ownership of the kit already (ie. replacement panels)

But yes vertex manufactures all of their shit to slip together like legos man, just look at my build thread where I test fit my aero.
