The current (FL) HMS-Tuning wide fenders are approximately 45mm. You will need to adapt the rear bumper card or run a (FL) rear bumper if you have a (PFL)
The older style (PFL) HMS-Tuning wide fenders were narrower but I don't have an exact size - Most likely 35mm.

Any ballpark on these? I'm itching to buy a set if new wheels, but I don't want to spend $2k on a set of wheels and have to replace them within 2 months because i was able to get the kit lol.

I would wait to get wheels. Build the car around the flares 
I am still looking to get 7 confirmed buyers. Once that is ready, I will open the Group Buy and start taking deposits.

Please share pictures of the build! I was about to pull the trigger on these, but no body shop around me felt that they could pain fiberglass in our magno platinum, and have it blend seamlessly. The matte paint shows alot of flaws if not done right.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The only difference between the PFL and FL kit is the rear bumper card section. A body shop can easily adapt them to your existing FL bumper since they are constructed from FRP or you can use any FL W204 C Class rear bumper as well for direct compatibility.

they're 275's on 18x9.5's running a new 30mm spacer while forgestar builds a set of 19x11's..... there's plenty of room for a 325 based on test fitting but I'm going to start with 255's/ 305's
tails are getting tinted today and the badges minus the star are coming off - shop accidently put those on.

my shop advised against trying to make it seamless - especially for matte paint. it might be more easily done on a black car with sikkaflex type materials. they advised if I wanted the seamless the OEM BS rears were the only rear option..... albeit a lot more work and $

What is recommended to mount these flares? I know “stick on” isn’t double sided tape lol but just seeing what should be used because I might be in the market to get a set and I usually do my own work instead of bringing it to a shop.
