i have spent hours searching the net for just a pair of pop rivet on rear fender flares that are 30mm wide. i can find 50mm and 60mm all day long. my rear tires only sit out about an inch. i would just flare the fender but the car was hit in the left rear and has had body work done. if i roll the fenders the putty is going to crack. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

You obviously arent looking very hard.

Took literaly 1 second through google, and it was the second option.

And if you are worried about the putty cracking if you roll your fenders, then sounds to me that you need a new shell.

the shell is a solid shell, but it had a 2 inch deep dent about a foot long and 8 inches tall in the left rear quarter. i pulled most of it out but there is a thin layer of putty to smooth it all out.

That's all you're gonna find. Add some spacers.

They're a PITA to put on. Keep in mind, any drilling is gonna go into putty as well, and these will flex the metal.

They don't fit great either.

I dont know how much smaller they are gonna get than that.

Or this:

Or just keep doing some searching, but as far as I see they dont even specify the size of any of them as being 50mm or 60mm or 30mm or whatever.
