Re: wider rear fenders

I got my fenders in from an e bay vendor and they are nice quality. I have the drivers side installed and primed. I decided to modify my stock boards instead of buying a $400 boards and cutting on them. the boards had to be shortened about an inch and need to be modified for the new contour. in the pic the board is cut and not modified yet. I have 13 inches of clearance between the bedside an the inner lip of the fender. I will run 12 inch wide tires. thinking about Boyd Smoothie 2 rims.



the difference between the two fenders stock versus wider




rear view it is hard to tell with the stock black fender but I was able to raise the fender about an inch in the rear. to me it looks better since I am not using a rear bumper.
