Ill get more pics out this weekend. On the install I used rivet nuts in my existing fender so the bolts are just 10mm allen head bolts. I decided to go that route instead of full riveting them because of easy access to take my bumper off! Ill get some close up pictures too this weekend. Thanks so much!

Car looks dope. I really like those wheels. Any suggestion on fitting them without running flares?

Theres honestly no way with that offset unless you run wide body. I had the fenders rolled and pulled as much as possible and it was still way to much, as well as my tires being stretched like crazy. Only thing I could suggest would be camber arms and get a lot more negative from your camber but other than that I dont know

Great project! Any reason you didn't go with wider tires? Shouldnt you be able to fit 265's in the front and like 285's in the rear?

I will go with some meatier ones once these are done with, I bought the tires before I got the flares, expecting to fit the wheels with just rolled and pulled fenders.. Didnt work out that way but already dropped a bunch of money on tires, so they will be there for a bit.

What size tires do you think you'll be able to fit under there? Any pics of where the flares meet the fenders to show where they don't line up perfectly?

I just saw this thread, great job!

Those are the kind of flares I've been looking to get for 2 years now.

I need to fit some serious meat on my car to handle the power.

I would love to see this car in person some time.

I have a sealant in between the flare and fender now so it meets pretty well at this point.

Yeah me too, hopefully someone will buy it I am trying to get it sold, I will miss it for sure though. Thats a tough question they are 9.5+40 and they have some room, just need to stay low profile
