I know opinions are like *****.... but to me that just looks wrong with small F1 sized wheels up front and those big wheel wells.

They look like F1 rear fenders. The way to tell the fenders from a pic is look at the wheel opening in relation to the horizontal body line on the fender.

On the rears, the F1 opening is about 2" below the body line, where on the F2 it is almost up to the line.

On the fronts, the F1 opening is even with the body line where the F2 and up have the openings extending well through the body line.
