Default calling all Fender Flare users! post your pics!

as the title says, i'm looking for all the fender flare guys / gals to see all the combos used with flares.

i've managed to track down some BBist flares to use and i'm thinking of defying the odds and going 17x9.5 +20 on 235/17/40 all around with the stock fender edges trimmed and the flares put to good use. so i'd like to see all the flare jobs done that is possible and go from there.

POST AWAY!

17x9.5 +20 is NOT defying the odds. I am running 15x9 -5F and 15x10 -15R with -5 camber. And it's a perfect fit for the bBist flares. If you don't want to run camber, go with a 17x9.5 -5F and 17x9.5 -10R. That would fit nicely.

oh ya? that's freakin bada$$, just need to watch the inner side of the tire for the fronts. think as hard turn the inner tire will be just under half an inch from the side of the subframe hahaha.

i've been seeing some wicked sizes with the Bbist flares. i was worried to hear that BBist stoped it's business but somehow got lucky and ran into the people that actually made the flares and supplied them TO BBist.com. once i order, i gotta wait about a month and a half before i get it cause they are make on request. you can find them on Ebay every now and then which is where i'm getting mine right now hopefully.

but still, i'd like to see BBist flared xB's or any other type of flared xB regardless, lets see those flares!

BNABox, IMO you should really get some better fitting wheels. It would really set of f your car a 100 times better. You got some awesome looking body work but the wheels just kill it i think. Just my freindly advice

Here is mine. I only got flares in the rear

that looks tight, but my issue is how does it handle aggressive driving? id love for it to look like that and still handle the 405 freeway

^^i believe you'd have airbags to pull that look off. that way when you needed to drive, you could just lift it up a bit so you don't rub.

the setup i'm going for though is only about a 2 inch drop with stiff coilovers so rubbing will be non-existent.



EDIT: i'll be able to post my setup soon

just got them brand new
