I pulled mine out that far, but mine aren't that smooth yet. I'm still waiting on the body shop to let me bring the car in, so as soon as I can and get it back, I'll def post pics. It was fairly easy to pull them that much with my fender roller on the second setting.
Also, I was hoping to get my front fenders, but origin lab said they wont be available until march.
If anyone knows if there are any located in the states for sale, please let me know. I might even be wiling to spend the extra cash for the vertex ones.

Detuned - Get the Vertex fenders, I just got done bolting mine on. Fitment is excellent and they're damn sexy at 25mm wider than stock on each side. (not to mention about 9lbs lighter than the OEM fender that everyone claims are so light)

If you pull your fenders with that offset it will make the car look worse. Maybe if it was 18x10 -10 or lower you could justify pulling the fenders.

sorry to sound like such a newb...but how much does it cost to get a good set of fenders done at a body shop like the ones posted above...including paint and everything?

TurboTeg, the 25mm isn't super insane, look above, those are the same fenders I have. I'm going to have to stretch my tires for sure but I doubt i'll need to mess with camber for fitment.
jalapeno, that's a good question....most people with pulled fenders i know have done it themselves. (blow torch and baseball bat method) I think you'll have to find a fairly flexible bodyshop that's willing to do them but I have no clue how much they'd charge. You might want to try the silvia/240sx forums and see....they do this kinda stuff much more often than sc owners.

My fenders have been pulled 20mm and painted. My body guy could not pull more than that without pulling metal from the door jam. Many hours went into this pull using a fender roller etc
Wheel fitment is still a work in progress.
Before:
After:
I'm also running the Vertex 25mm front fenders that have been cut and reglassed to be 5mm wider
