Default Wider fenders on EK.

Has anybody modified their fenders to fit a wider tire? I've been thinking about modifying my current fenders by cutting/pulling out and hacking up another fender and adding on.. I'm going to go with a 15x8 wheel, probably a 215 or 225/5015 series tire. I had tried looking for a fender that looks stock but is actually slightly wider, so the wheel/tire won't rub on a lowered car. The reason in me asking is, I want fit quite a bit of tire over stock to gain more traction. But, when I had 205/50r15 with a 15x7.5 wheel, whenever I would turn it would rub.

Sweet. Appreciate it Mike, I guess we will see how everything goes when I get this project all together. I'm just trying to plan ahead.
