What do you consider SC flares? In my mind there is no such thing as SC flares, the fender flare in the front has been the same on all 911's through the 964 I believe.

I think what you mean is normal at the front but with turbo flares at the rear, yes? To give you a flavour, though mine are not turbo flares at the rear but (and dare I say it) RUF arches. These are 1 3/4 wider than stock rear arches but not as wide as the turbo and slightly different shape,,,,, but I think it could help the process. In the past I did the rear arches on a turbo-like first, and before I did the fronts it did look a little 'odd' but not bad. Not too sure it would have cut it years ago but narrow(ish) fronts and wide rears seem to be more 'in tune' with what's happening in the sports car world today. Picture of mine (the black one) and some of my mates for comparison.  Hope it helps. Regards Jammo.

i believe he is asking sc REAR flares attached up front and turbo rear flares in the back ?
the obvious "problem" with this is that you end up with 8" front (vs. turbo 9") and 11" rear. The flare profiles between sc and turbo are different with the lips having the most visible differences

I currently have a turbo widebody kit on my car. The rears are steel turbo flares, and the fronts have a turbo width also, not as the rear, but turbo or rsr type width for front flares. I wanna keep my rear width, but was wondering what it would look like with standard SC flares in the front.
