Does anyone have the measurements for installing the GT Fender flares. I have a set from AA and was just wondering where I should line them up before cutting

I was reading through some of the old flare threads (mine included) and noticed I really didn't mention the importance of the front flare placement. The rear is pretty simple, just center the stock wheel opening to the flare wheel opening and you're good.
The front is a little different and can cause issues. Each set of flares can be a little different, but I remember you have to move the flares on the front forward a little. If you center wheel opening to wheel opening, the tire runs the risk of rubbing on the front. Especially if you have larger than stock tires. I think it mostly has to do with the scrub radious? Spacers used or not etc. If you tape up the front flares perfectly centered, then bolt on some 8 inch fuchs and turn the steering wheel lock-lock, you'll see what I mean. It's either forward or back, can't remember anymore. |
