Mikelly Posted November 15, 2000 Share Posted November 15, 2000 I have them opn mine and I can tell you that you will need to glass them in. You will also have to cut the inner fender out in order for you to get a wider tire not to rub. This is a long and painfull process and should not be taken lightly... Mine were installed by a professional, so I can't tell you exaclty how it was done, but you will have to prepare to cut some of the body away to make them truly finctional.

Andrew Bayley Posted November 15, 2000 Share Posted November 15, 2000 Mike, I have a few questions about your flares. What size (width) & offset wheel were you running in the pictures posted in the Featured Rides? I've got a set of semi-chessy Eagle's that stick out of the OEM fender wells quite a bit. Don't believe me? Go ahead, check out my last picture in the members rides. Go on now, I'll wait... ...pretty nasty, isn't it. Don't worry I only drive those wheels and tires at the track. Anyway, I just want to be 100% sure that the flares are going to cover up the tires. The rims I got are 15 x 8 with a 3.25" back spacing. I really wanted to go with at least 3.5" or even 3.75" (I got coil overs) but the price difference in wheels was over a $100 just for the offset. Any information on what you've got would be appreciated. Thanks -Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted November 15, 2000 Share Posted November 15, 2000 Andy, My rear flares are the street flare offered by motorsport auto and are 3inches wide. The wheels I have are 15x8 with 4 inches back spacing. The flares cover the wheel and tire combo easily and because I'm upgrading to wider 17s I checked for additional clearance. No problems!

Andrew Bayley Posted November 15, 2000 Share Posted November 15, 2000 Thanks for the vote of confidence. The flares I got are the identical 3 inch MSA's. I'm not that concerned about those wheels I told you to look at. Looks like I will scrapping the 4-lugs and going to a 5 lug some time soon here (just decided this morning). -Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
