I was wondering if the OEM fenders body lines fit the s14 door lines. It looks like it does but I am not quite sure. I saw some sweet widebody fenders, but they are designed specifically for an s15, so I don't know if they will fit. If they don't fit, then how much modification will need to be done inorder to make them fit. Also does anybody know if the wheel base of the s14 and the s15 are the same. This would relate to the side skirts fitting the fenders. Should anybody be familiar with this, please help.

There was a thread on fa about this. Sombody cut a pair of s14 and s15 fenders in half and welded the backs of the s14 fenders to the front of the s15 fenders because he wanted metal ones.

I am still getting mixed messages regarding fitment. I just don't want to buy the s15 fenders that I want and not have them fit and have to modifiy them a huge ammount. People at inner circle said that they fit then I called Sam at Jspec and he pretty much blew me off, so I still haven't gotten any where with the research. I just would like to know if the bolt patterns are the same and if the fenders fit where the door and fender meet (this is the part that I don't want to have to modify, it would be too much work). Doesn't any body know...?

if you seriously want to go with an s15 front end conversion then just get the s14.5 conversion fenders. look around - i'm sure there are some conversionfenders that replicate the s15 ones that you want. this will be alot easier. and you mentioned that the s15 wide body fenders that you want are metal? balla. just get the fiberglass stuff or FRP cause you're gonna spend a shitload of money custom fitting those metal widebody s15 fenders on an s14.
the people at innercircle will MAKE them fit...but like i said, for a shitload of cash any good bodyshop will make them fit.
if you are going that route, the sideskirts are definitley going to be custom fab'd.

THEY DO NOT MOTHERFUCKING FIT
Happy now? Bolt holes are close for a few places, but the rest don't come close. The blend line is nowhere near the same, and the back edge to the Apillar and door aren't even remotely close. Your only options:
1) Buy conversion fenders, cut and hack to make them look decent.
2) Buy OE fenders, cut them just above the fender arch back and weld the S14 rear half to it.
Nothing else works, and anything aftermarket looks like shit out of the box.

Thanks for all the info. I think that I will go with just a conversion fender, it sounds like less of a headache. Again thanks for all the info and ideas.
