Kerscher fender help
I am going to use rear 944T trailing arms with GT3 11 inch wheels and need to talk with someone about their Kerscher fenders. If you actually have some, I would like to get some measurements to help me with sizing. I do not have rear fenders anymore so need measurements. I can figure it out from there.
Thanks

Santa Fe, New Mexico
I will use a tape measure from the frame to the outside of the tire and this is what I would like to compare with those that actually have Kerscher fenders installed. Will post a photo this week.

Re: Kerscher fender help
I'm guessing you're doing Kerscher for the flared edge fenders? If you're just doing wider and not flared then Creative Car Craft is a better bet. The fitment is excellent, and while the quality seems to have dropped since the sale, is still very good and they have different widths. Don't be afraid of a little fiberglass work to get what you want too, as any of them will need to have some bodywork to be very smooth.

Re: Kerscher fender help
So the extra shipping is worth it to buy Kerschers?

It must be worth it to me because I did it, cannot say for someone else.

Re: Kerscher fender help
Obviously, but why, what does Kerscher have going for it and what did you end up spending a fender? I may have to go wider than CCC offers, wondering about Kerschers sizes as well. Do they have a standard lip as well as a flared lip?SuperRSi wrote:It must be worth it to me because I did it, cannot say for someone else.

Re: Kerscher fender help
In my case I wanted the Kaefer flares on the fenders. I have looked at several others including purchased CCC fenders in the past. I tried ordering Remmele fenders several times and after this last time just gave up and ordered the Kerscher fenders. I have always had luck with Kerscher and just went with them. I will keep you posted once I get them and check them out. My problem for the moment is United Airlines lost the paperwork and they cannot be cleared through customs!

Re: Kerscher fender help
I think the flares make it look like a 1980s metal flake wide body job. Let us know how it works out.
Why so wide on the wheels?

Re: Kerscher fender help
Steve it will be basalt black which is metallic, maybe that's why the fenders appeal to me!? Memo to self : add bigger metalflake...
Why the wide wheels? Because I like GT3 wheels and that is how wide they are. I have a race car so I don't really car if I can get them to temp on a cold day on this street car.
The pictures pop right up on Germanlook.net not sure what is happening here.
