Go to www.camp914.com and look at the yellow car named JLo.

I dunno who made the flares, but they are that tremongous.

I think those are steel flares with added metal for a larger jlo...

At least the orange car with massive flares on here is that way.....

I bought my glass flares from this guy. I got the 7 fronts and 9 rears. My wheels are 8.5x18 fronts and 18x10 rears which fit but are very snug in the back. I would have bought the bigger flares from him if my wheels didn't fit. He also has matching rockers to match those fat flares.

PIC NOTE: I love my car so much I sleep on it.

The fronts are not 7's... probably 9's.. The rears could be 9's as well...

Might be 9's and 11's...

But the fronts are not 7's...

I was just looking at the standard FG GTs and saw some GT XL ones and wanted to see what they would look like.

I would like to run rear 17x9.5 or 10 and 265 to 285's.

Thanks for the info.

For what it is worth I have 285/40R15's (no longer available) on the rear of my /6 with original factory steel flares (not factory installed, just factory parts).

I just like 11" Fuchs... you'd have to have a 911, as it's 2muchteenerassforme2.
