Need help on front flares!

I have a 79 SC that I want to fit a matched pair of 8" Fuchs deep dish wheels on. Back SC flares look like I'll be OK, but front looks like I need an extra 1.25 to 1.5" more of fender than I have.

Looks like turbo flares (9") are too much for what I need and will not match the SC rear anyway. Is there any advice for flaring out the front fenders (or something else) on an SC or is there anything out there that I can "glass on" that is not so wide?Hopefully something that won't get in my pocketbook?

I am not adverse to doing some adjusting bodywork.

Thanks!

Take a look at using segments of SC rear flares on the front, left side on right and vice versa.

Might look disproportionate with larger front flares. What wheels are in the rear now?

You might be better off finding a pair of 951 8" Fuchs. The offset is different and will be easier to squeeze it and the tire under the factory wheel well.

Either that or flare the rear as well. F/R RSR flares look nice provided the correct size wheels and tires go with it.
