Fender Width

A friend has two front fenders that are definitely Model T fenders, but they 9 inches wide.
The center area is slightly raised, rather than just flat and there is a narrow and raised area on each side of the center section.
I have measured several truck fenders that are 8 inches wide and I have no idea what these may fit.
Would anyone know what vehicle they were made to be used on.

Yes ford did make wide track fenders. I have a pair if 15 wide track front fenders . 9 inches wide sounds about right.
There used to be a 15 wide track car here in town.

Might be wide track or might be aftermarket fenders, these were made a bit larger as noted in the adv.

They are flat topped. Widetracks didnt extend into the later crowned fender. More likely aftermarket, dress up fenders.

Wide tracks were made till 18. I had a NOS Wide Track crown rear fender a few years ago. Friend had the other side. So Ford must have made crowned wide tracks. Dan

Did have to check what Dan Hatch posted on 60" crowned fenders. Can't find any part # listings in Price List of Parts books.
But Bruce McCalley's CD Encyclopedia had them listed. He used for this master list of Part #s cross-referenced to Fac #s a book from Ford known as Factory Number Book, dated 1920, containing every Ford Factory # at the time. So, there were the '17-'18 60" wide track fenders, front and rear.
The front '17-'18 60" Fender Factory # are T-5739 Right, and T-5740 Left. Didn't know, now I do
