The profile has a subtle flare in it that allows for a wider tire/wheel combo. Attached image(s) |

Shows the inside lip contour. The inner lip was removed as I kept the orignal steel inner lip of the car for support. Attached image(s) |

Thanks, Bill and thanks to your muscle bound toolwench Doris, also (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The fronts don't *look* as if they are any more flared than my present fenders....tho the shape is more pleasing. I'll be interested in seeing your attempts at flaring them morre....hope the well ain't dry.There is no way I could get 10 inch wheels under mine. Thanks again. |

I'm going after the wider tires and rims. So I'll be practicing my f/g work by hybriding these things....I'll let you know how it goes...

I can fit a 23x9x15 cantilever slick under the front on a 15x7 cookie with 28mm spacers....no rubbing. The flare is subtle, but it is bigger than a stock fender....
