i was planning on doing the silvia conversion, and i have 15x7 +0 mesh wheels. i have the rear fenders pulled, so its pretty flush, and the fronts rolled as of now. when i replace the parts, would running 20mm fenders in the front match up ok with the pulled rears? i wanted to get the fronts flush without adding too much camber, if possible. any other suggestions?

I wouldn't....If you look closely the fronts on the S13 are already flared (looks down the side of the car from the back and you can see it stick out)...if you want to flare the front, definitely get some rear flares...

it wouldn't be hard to tell, if the fenders you want are 20mm wider than stock, measure out a 30mm piece of styrofoam, put a slit in it at 20mm and wedge it onto the widest part of your front fender. Now you have a marker for how wide the whole thing would be. Whether it looks imbalanced or not is a personal judgement call I'd say; also hingent upon how far you had your rears pulled.

if you have 15x7 0 offset, you dont need wide fenders, ive run 15x7 0 offset wheels with no rolling or pulling, of the front fenders, i rolled the rears, i have -3 degrees of camber up front, and -2.5 out back, and since i crashed my car i picked up some 25mm wide fenders super cheap, so i put them on, and i dont like it, i want stock fenders again, cuz its too wide, i dont have rear wide fenders, and i dont have wheels big enough for the need of wide fenders, the only way it looks decent is if i use a 15mm spacer on my 16x7 0 offset enkei mesh. btw, heres some pictures. i dont have a picture of them with the mesh up front.
this is with 16x8 +17 offset up front, M Sports 25mm over fenders.
