Due to a 5 lug conversion in process I am going to need to flare my rear fenders to fit some 225/16's on the rear. I have heard and been told by people that it has been done using all sorts of implements; from baseball bats to lead pipe to old strut cartridges! I also have yet to see the results look decent. So does anybody have and personal experience and pics to back it up or is this truely an "Urban Legend"?

I did mine with a wooden dowel (probably 2").
This was my first attempt at it and it came out OK, but it I was to do it over, I would use something else (or would need someone who has done it before be there to offer guidance) The second fender came out better than the first. If I was to repaint the car, I could make it look better (but my flares will replace the stretched fenders one day). |
