I was placing the gt flares on my car the driver side fits perfect rockers vs flares for great.. Passenger side seems like the rocker is too long based off the fender opening in the front. Anyone have any insight?

One should always place the flares so the wheel is in the center of the arch.
The rockers should follow the flare, not the other way round ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) you fit the flares correctly on the car and then fit the rockers to the flares. The rockers are just trim. |

What I am saying is that the rocker is too long on the pasenger side by about an inch though we are talking a fiberglass rocker..

I think these glass rockers are copies of copies.
