Re: Make them fit..... RIMS

So your not talking about inner fenders? Your talking about making the entire fender opening bigger?

Re: Make them fit..... RIMS

Years ago, I helped a buddy do his fenders like this. They looked factory when complete, just huge openings. We also did the bed fenders. Lot's of work, but I think it's worth it.

Not my thread, just an example...

Maybe if you were lifting it that would be ok, but I take your title as saying you are wanting some large diameter wheels 26"+ in size..
