[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16642546, member: 70025"] Okay everyone, You know I couldn't wait to test fit the front fender. Working from home, so on my lunch break I went out there and put the driver's fender in place. I'll remove it tonight since it's going to the fabricators shop this weekend. There is good news and bad news LOL. I couldn't get the camera angle right, so the front looks high here. [ATTACH=full]1712170[/ATTACH] Moved some boxes around and got this shot. Here it looks good. That's the good news. [ATTACH=full]1712171[/ATTACH] Moved to the rear of the car and it looks good. It looks level and I like the ride height. [ATTACH=full]1712172[/ATTACH] I'm VERY happy with the stance. [ATTACH=full]1712173[/ATTACH] I like the fitment of the tire in the wheel well. I turned the wheel lock to lock and no hitting or rubbing. [ATTACH=full]1712175[/ATTACH] The Ringbrothers's hardware looks good. [ATTACH=full]1712177[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1712178[/ATTACH] I'm going to need to re-paint the inner part of the fender (i.e. where the hardware sits) as some overspray got on it when the car was originally painted. [ATTACH=full]1712179[/ATTACH] And here is the bad news. With this Mustangs to Fear set up and Wilwood brakes the tire sticks out about 1/4 to 1/2 inch too much. I have 17x8 all around. Should have 17x7 up front. The way it is now when I hit a bump the tire is going to rub the fender. I'll take a closer look at this later. Maybe I can get a different tire size to fix the issue. I have 235/45 all around right now. Maybe need to bump the rear up to 245/45 and drop the front end down one tire width size. I'd much rather buy new tires than new rims/wheels.
