Wider wheel arches?

Hello guys.

I'm trying to find some wider arches than the stock one, but i can't find something that isn't too much for my point of view..!
What is a bit too much for me?Is this...

https://www.rsic6.com/product-page/w...nfiber-version

Those arches are 4.5cm wider and what i think i would probably need is something like 2.5/3cm.I dont want them to be carbon, actually the best case scenario
would be, if it was exactly how the OEM are("textured plastic").

Also i know that this is something that never gonna happen and the only way would be fiberglass.
So.. is there any company or private seller that make/sell wider arches fit on R56?

Thank you all for your time guys.

Cheers!

If you only need 2-3cm I would imagine you could probably just roll the stock fenders and arches to get that. The stock arches are reasonably flexible.

These looks to me much wider than the RSI isnt it?Also they look much more "aftermarket" than the RSI.
So thats not an option for me .. ANy other suggestion?
