You can do a simple weld up to approximate the old factory 9" flare but if you are trying to attain a correct Ruf look it is a lot more work.

Good luck.. money will flow like water to get it right!

I don't understand what you disagree w/, I made no reference to cost or how the flare integrates w/ the rest of the body.

The fact is the rear Ruf flare is an inch wider than SC/Carrera and an inch narrower than a 930

the SC is usually called a 9" flare because it comfortably accommodates a 9" wheel
the Ruf comfortably accommodates a 10" wheel
the 930 comfortably accommodates an 11" wheel

though you can squeeze in larger wheels if you work at it and accordingly plan your wheel/tire purchases
