Not Ranked
Actually,
FIA regs required a minimum width in GT class racing. If a car presented itself with a width less than the minimum it was not allowed to compete.
You will often see period photo's of cars with fenders pounded out to nearly flat or any combination therein. At Sebring in 1964 the Cobras were clear favorites. Some of the cars were actually required to rivet on extentions in order to compete.
As hand built cars go the street cars were typically built the same, however various tire / wheel height combinations required various fender profiles. The Dragonsnake drag cars had little in the way of rear fenders to fit the tires they ran.
Hope this helps,
