something like below, is all hand made, and if you want that fat look and not having it look cheap and stuck on, its really the only way to go..

its pointless having bigger guards unless you're going to be running wheels with lower offset.

and if anyone isn't too sure what offset does to the way a car looks, look at the rear wheels in the following pics. not holdens but you get the idea

18x8 +40ish offset.

17x11 -6 offset

and before you say that you cant drive with wheels like that

in other words, only get wider guards if you've got the wheels to fill them

sometimes the budget dont stretch that far to do all mods at once..

but definately something to think about, the rims on that monaro had a massive dish.
