dont know the exact name of the fenders, but you can bump your gas door out with a couple of brackets and some creative welding (or jb welding for the do it yourselfer).

I have widebody fenders on my car and the gas door fix is easy. You get a new hinge and space it out with washers on the bolts until it fits flush. TAH-DA!

No problem, also when you get to putting the fenders on there are some special tricks you can do. Do you plan on molding them or just putting them on? Mine are molded but I really like the 2JZ S14 and how he has his done without molding them.

Some stuff to get them to line up right and make them look good riveted without being molded. Like once you get the lined up use autoglass tape to hold them in place, then have one person *lightly* (very lightly) put pressure on the fender and have them hold it until you get all of the rivets in. Go very slow making sure all of the holes/rivets are perfectly straight and such.

As for lining the fender up it takes two people and alot of small adjustments to make it look good. Mine were a bit easier (They have the stock body line on them so I used that to help line them up) Overall once they are on the look great! I got in an accident though so currently I have one overfender and one side without so I'm redoing both and probably going with just riveting them on.
