What kind of price range would one be looking at for modified body panels (front fenders and rear quarters). Need big wheels/tires to fit without rubbing, but I really don't want to do those bolt-on flares. I know the pricing will vary quite substantially based upon how far i want to take it (and more over many might ask why in the world would you want to do that with an 02' Camaro). I just would like to get an estimated range. I might could get by with just some mild flaring of the rear wheel well openings along with a mini tub kit and narrowed rear so I can fit 335's. The fronts seem like they will need more work. The 295's are getting wear to the outer edge with full suspension travel now...with some smoothing of the inner fender area and the enlargement of the front openings I think I can make it work but it will be pretty involved. I would like to prepare a budget and just would like a starting point.

Also I don't and won't be racing in a series so I don't have any rules I need to comply with. In addition to the obvious boost in handling, I think it wil assist with the aesthetics of the car so it needs to be done right (not so much with a BFH).

Thanks in advance.

Most the guys here fit 315s on the front with no issues.

The 335s on the rear is all up to you be it flared fenders or tubs. The pricing on the labor is highly dependent on your location and the talent pool available to you in that location.

I have 295's up front on 18 x 10's that are offset for the Wilwood SL-6. I am getting rubbing around the outside edge of the tire on that little tab on the fender that holds the liner in place. The liner around the outside edge has a lot of rubber on it due to the rubbing. I think if I removed the liner or even fastened the liner to the metal in the wheel well (pulling the liner flush with the metal and gaining a few more mm) I could avoid at least "some" rubbing. But I need to somehow push the fender away from the metal inner wheel well as much as possible.

Thoughts?
