How much extra width do the 6 style flares add to a car? It appears to be about 4"-5" per side. I bought a roller with these style flares on it and want to know if it will fit in the back of my 1/2 ton or if I will have to haul the dolly down to get it.

Brad should be picking your car up or delivering it back to Yeaman's Autobody by now.
There is at least one company out there making a larger version of GT flare that will let you get 11's under the back of your car. Doubtful you have these but it's good to make sure. Jon |

Jon that explains the silence (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) man, can't wait to get the paint done. as for the extra wide flares, i've seen them a few times now. but those are way bigger ...
