Your car came out awesome , Chad ! Very nice- it really has the euro attitude.

an option is to take front 9" turbo flares , put them on the back . Take care of the torsion bar holes- already stated above

For the front, to retain proportionality, install the rear flares from a SC/Carrera. BUT to get more of a matched look, metal work will have to be performed on the back outer lips , as they have a flat vertical face. The SC/Carrera has a small outer face

If the flat vertical face is acceptable to you, consider then narrowing a pair of front turbo flares and narrowing them an inch, up front. I did this back in '86 on my targa running 8/9 x 15's. The flares have the same radius front and rear, same outer face, and there is the proportionality that most of us are looking for.
