What do you mean by "re-work" the inner fenders ?

17x9 + 45 with 245/45/17 tire
17x9.5 + 38 275/40/17 tire
25 3/4 inch floor to fender driver side
26.5 inch floor to fender passenger side
lol i know its uneven, will go with coilovers and fender rolling for a more aggressive wheel setup in the future.

I don't have resonators, just the two mufflers at the end there.
Camber was not adjusted from that pic, and they do not rub, even when tucked way up. Its super close, but the camber gain on compression keeps it from rubbing/hitting.

Bruce, I've heard a lot about you and seen pics of your car a bunch of places, but I don't think we've met. I'm a friend of Bryan Rogers, and actually bought his Bersaglios for my S14 a while back.
I haven't decided whether to stay stock body and go with 19" CE28's (9.5 et22 / 10.5 et22) or go with a BRS kit I can get my hands on and fit the Bersaglios with big rubber. Here's Bersaglio test fitment pics:
Work Bersaglio's, 18x10 et0 with 245/40/18 Z1 Star Specs and 18x12 et 0 with 285/30/18 Hankook V12 Evo's. Stock body, ride height at 25"F/25.5"R, no camber (1* or so), did it for lulz and to take measurements. Front looked like it might be close, but still hit the fenders in a big way.
Here's the 18x12 et0 next to my stock FD wheel...

I have a decent supply of 2yr old 275/35/18 and 335/30/18 Toyo R888 take-offs from the Toyo Viper that fit the wheels great, but could never get them under the S14. If I go BRS on the FD, I'll be able to fit real rubber under there, if I go Burnout, I'll have to keep stretching (and add ~2* of camber). /threadjack

My first setup...
Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 18x9.5 +45 F, 18x10 +38 R
Tires- Dunlop SP Sport FM901 (not sold anymore but I figured new Dunlops might be the same)
Sizes- 235/40-18 F, 265/35-18 R
Optional info- Rolled fenders, no idea on camber, STANCE coilovers
Notes on this fitment...anorexic tires on these wheels. Quite a bit of room, no rubbing IIRC. I rolled the fenders anticipating not having a lot of room but there was quite a bit actually.

My second setup...
Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 18x10 +38 F, 18x10.5 +15 R
Tires- Dunlop SP Sport FM901 F, Sumitomo HTRZ III R
Sizes- 265/35-18 F, 295/30-18 R
Optional info- Flared rear fenders, tried to flare fronts but unsuccessful, still no idea on camber (same as before, probably close to stock), STANCE coilovers
Notes on this setup...still anorexic on the front, thank goodness because I needed them to be stretched since I couldn't flare the fender. The rear tires fit 10.5" perfectly! I don't remember much rubbing on the front, maybe a little, but not much on the rear surprisingly.

My third and current setup (until the next one, coming soon)...
Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 18x10 +38 F, 18x10.5 +15 R
Tires- Nitto NT555RII
Sizes- 285/35-18 F, 305/35-18 R
Optional info- Flared the rear fenders a hell of a lot more (probably about 2 inches past stock at this point), camber I believe is about -1.5* front and -1* rear, but I don't remember for sure, STANCE coilovers still.
Notes on this setup...these tires, I feel, are way too tall. The 285/35 fits the 10" pretty well width-wise, but it's just too tall. And the 305/35 bulges out a bit on the 10.5, which would be OK if, again, the tire wasn't too tall. I can't tell if there is rubbing when I'm driving it, but when I'm stopped there is tire residue on the rear fenders where the end of the lip (flare) ends on the stock fender. I believe there is rubbing on the front fenders too but I can't tell for sure. I DO know that the tires rub the frame in front of the wheel on one side, driver's side IIRC. I was thinking about just putting a spacer on there and see what happens but decided to just get smaller tires, and since I wanted a new set of wheels anyway that I'd just get new wheels too haha. I have some Shine 20+ wide front fenders but I haven't put them on yet. I've test fit them and this front setup leaves about 5-10mm of clearance.
