Go to www.camp914.com and look at the yellow car named JLo.

I dunno who made the flares, but they are that tremongous.

I think those are steel flares with added metal for a larger jlo...

At least the orange car with massive flares on here is that way.....

I bought my glass flares from this guy. I got the 7 fronts and 9 rears. My wheels are 8.5x18 fronts and 18x10 rears which fit but are very snug in the back. I would have bought the bigger flares from him if my wheels didn't fit. He also has matching rockers to match those fat flares.

PIC NOTE: I love my car so much I sleep on it.

he "shouldn't" have any rubbing on the front...I've had 8" rims up front on stock fendered car with no problems......

lybones,

I like the rotary section sitting on your shelf, looks like a piece of art

The fronts are not 7's... probably 9's.. The rears could be 9's as well...

Might be 9's and 11's...

But the fronts are not 7's...

what size tires do you "want' to run??

up to 275's have been installed on regular GT flares in the rear........

Not sure if this is the right size, but they look like 11 inch rears.

I was just looking at the standard FG GTs and saw some GT XL ones and wanted to see what they would look like.

I would like to run rear 17x9.5 or 10 and 265 to 285's.

Thanks for the info.

Not at all. The fronts were even on my car when it was'nt flared but rubbed the inner fender on u-turns.

For what it is worth I have 285/40R15's (no longer available) on the rear of my /6 with original factory steel flares (not factory installed, just factory parts).

These are definately 11 rears. Too much ass for me.

I just like 11" Fuchs... you'd have to have a 911, as it's 2muchteenerassforme2.
