Ok, i think im positive about these fenders now. Well I need some more advice then. What kind of offsets/spacers would i need to make the wheels flush on 30mm's? I think i might go with 17's.

ya, im not really diggin that exhaust. maybe from a different view. however, i love those wheels. it's the tires that make them look like ****. tires that stretch better than those would be nice.

the wheels are the same as mine but like 15x10 -44. i want a pair for rears instead of my 15x8 -30.

if your set on 17s anything less than 9 and you will probably be laughed at

spacers are not your friend just get wider wheels....

i got 15x7s all around now and i wish i had 8.5 for the rears... hummmm

Thanks fast_s13. But what does that "0 -" in front of the offset mean? Honestly i have no clue on things like this.

once the car is fully painted the molding wont be an issue.

i think he meant 17x10 and anything from +0-10 offset. i agree. if you have overs, you should at least have 10 inch wide wheels. i guess you could go with some 9.5s too.

Oh, thats what i was thinking but was a little blank. Well i might go with 10s then. And how were those rear fenders installed? I really dont want them molded on so i might do them like the ones that s13 teddy posted.

Riveting them on is probably the best way as long as you make sure you spray some kind of rust sealer/protecting spray over the holes drilled into the OEM sheet metal. The best thing about riveting them on is if you ever break one in the future you car replace it will minimal effort. If they're molded on they car me a major pain to remove.
