Your question is slightly non-specific. but looking at your photo I'm guessing that you mean the wheel well opening in the front? I'll measure mine later when I go down to the car. I know mine is all original, 77 model year. I'll get back to you.

Well, I went down and measured. Kinda hard to get real accurate with my 255/60-15' sticking out the way they do. but pretty close to 31 inches both sides. This of course is on a 77. not clear on the year of your car.
Has there been some fibreglass repairs done on your car in the past?
