I currently have a Beck body on my 914 and I am considering going with gt flares. My question is how wide of a flare would I have to go with to be a good fit for 265 wide rear tires?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Andy. (Almost always) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have stock width GT flares with 9 inch wide wheels, 255/40R/17 tires. With spacers I have about 1/4 inch space between the inside of the tire and the trailing arm. I can just get my finger tips between the out side of the tire and the rim of the fender.
