Yeah I just found this out the hard way too. I kind of anticipated it but after some discussion on another thread figured I could get away with it. And you could if you were cheesy but now I need to go back in and space the door hinges out after all.
Widening cars is the new trend. I am doing mine because I too have never really liked the giant fender flare thing. I tried hard for many years but it just always looked ludicrous even going with a race car vibe. Some cars work well to "bubble" ie "coke bottle" the car but my vehicle, '67 Mustang, has too many straight body character lines I don't want to bubble it. Its amazing how much just 2" on each side helps cover the tire. One nice thing about those straight lines though is that it definitely has a nice flat spot along the top fo the doors you can barely tell its widened. I was surprised how easy it was really to split the doors. Yeah a lot of work but didn't take me that long.
