Need opinions on Duraflex Peices

I know most people here stay away from duraflex. My rears are running 315's. The tyres are rubbing on the rear fender and short of changing to coilovers I don't know wht else to do (full bmr suspensiom including 1/1.4 inch drop)
I stumbles upon these and they are the closest thing i could find to fender flares like the z28. I like them, what do you guys think about them/duraflex?

$562 just for 2 fender flares??? Are they high?

Honestly the flares would look cool if they remained complete all of the way around instead of tapering down behind the wheel...But $562 for two pieces of ill molded plastic? No way!

How would these awful fender flares or changing over to coilovers help with you your tires rubbing the fenders? Seems like it's a wheel offset issue. With the correct offset wheels and tire size, 315s can fit no problem.

I agree, unless you plan to cut away the factory wheel well and roll them out to match the flare you will still rub...

What are your rear offsets? To run a 315 properly, you need 20x11 at +43 or +45 mm offset.

Im on a 315 and lower than 1.4 in the rear and have no rubbing issues, where are you rubbing? Ill rub the the top of the fender above the wheel on hard dips if im going too fast, but dont even come close the the fender arch on a 20x10.5 wheel
