datsunlover Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Ya know.. I was gona jump in here, but I'm thikng I'm probly out-classed.. what with my prety much STOCK 280z.. No flares.. No V8, just an angry inline 6 (angry, but not really that powerfull.. ) and tiny little 205/50 tires.. I couldn't flare my car out anyway, it wouldn't fit in the garage anymore!

speeder Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 General "Buck" Turgidson:Uh, so let's get going, there's no other choice (Than to flare). God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural... fluids. I finally found the movie quotes from Dr. Strangelove, and have amassed a sh!htload of ammunition for snappy, preverted comebacks. Do it Tim! Moridin: I have 15X10" wheels for my drag radials, am waiting to get the larger flares done so I can see how big a Mickey Thompson drag radial (Height - and - width - wise) I can get under there. Looking at the 325/50-15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 No matter what you do, the "grass is always greener on the other side." Many times I think I'd like a clean, untouched body. But when I had one, I thought I wanted huge flares. So.....Let the car talk the walk, and walk the talk. Balance the form with function (and visa versa). A flare on a car makes much the same statement as torn out sleeves and neck on a tight T-shirt on a body builder. He's got big guns in those arms, and your car will too. So flaunt the fact that "I can't fit in my clothes" and push the dang wheels out. It doesn't have to be huge, but enough to say "think about it first!!."

hat1324 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 would a YZ flare be overkill for those cobra wheels? I mean there 17x10.5 and they talk about another 2" of RIM under there.. what about the subtle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Here's the shot I was looking for. Now Tim, honestly... From John Washingtns site: http://www.reactionresearch.com/280yz/danjuday/danjuday.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 The wheels in my sig pic are 17X9 and the existing 285/40-17s rub slightly on the IMSA flares. The 280YZ's will be perfect for the 10.5 X17s with 315/35 -17s. I've measured, and a test fit of the 10.5s with 315s confirms. My IMSA flares only yield a little more than 1" of extra width over the stock config, while the YZs add a true 3 extra inches. John at Reaction Research has reported that my kit has been shipped. Woo Hoo! Can't wait to get more deviated than I am now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
