Hey guys, the recent bodywork that my wife did to my car is leading it to the paint booth. Which is giving me the chance to pull the fenders some. I don't want "flares". I want to keep the narrow body look. I have seen LaMonica's and like his. I just want to see some others to show the body shop.

Any pics would be greatly appreciated.

I second this request!! Putting new tires on the car today, and possibly will need just a weeeeee bit more room.

ouch...
I didn't hear about that
but the pulled fenders will be a nice way to make the best of a bad situation...
and new wider tires will be in your future:

HaroldD fenders is what you want.....

BTW I have a great set of 951 offset 7/8x16 wheels and tires for U sale

When you pull the fender, the metal has to come from somewhere. Usually that means wider gaps at the doors & hood.

I know. I assumed that they would have to cut and fill.

Old pics, but I had 225/45-15's on 8" rims with no rubbing.

7s in the back. lips rolled and out about an inch. tires are 205/55/15s

All you need is a Louisville slugger and a buddy.

I've seen Rick's car and his are very subtle had to look very close. I believe

He used a bat? Rick is that correct?

Rick, do you have any pics from the back to show the profile? Looks very nice. Actually, looks untouched!

Just remember that if you go wider, that takes up more space in the garage ... and will be even easier to hit again

I think these were rolled about 1/2" to 3/4" wider than stock. (Correct me here if I am wrong, Andyrew) Fitting 16x7 Fuchs.

Unless you stretch them ala John Kelly

What is "sudtail"? You mean subtle?

Sorry Bill I Fixed it. Thanks.

Yes. Ricks car looks great

Jeff,

We need to talk.

Here's a /6 from many years ago...........

Evils were pie cut, pulled and "rewelded" with new metal in T.J. I got them shaped right

Scotty, I didn't know that was what your business was called! Or that you had a website. Very cool!

See post #30 of this thread

I think someone is headed down the slippery slope of bigger wheels, bigger tires, a new paint job, suspension upgrades, then a bigger engine to turn the bigger tires & wheels, etc.

That's sooooo good Tom.....

Hey Tom, When you ordered the flares from Chris do you remember how much offset you spec'd?

Chris offers them from 1" up to 4" wide - at least for the rear flares.

I went with 1" on the front and 2 1/2" rear

If I were to do it again I would go with 3" flare on the rear.

They were installed at Tangerine, and I did the bodywork.

The 225x50s JUST fit on the rear with the 8" 951 wheels, can't fit a finger in there.

also tight on the inside, have 2mm spacers to reduce the inside rubbing
