i'm thinking about flaring the sides and throwing some 002's on. going to go 15x7 on the 0 offset with 225/50R15 Falken ZE512 tires. i'd like to really get a good look at these suckers, specialy if anyone has them matched to some 225/50-15 tires!

i will be droping an inch and half on some Tien SSP + EDFC for coilovers. should i worry about chambers? and if i do need to worry, where can i get some that are rather nice?

 

you dont need flares for 7 inches wide.

 

i meant 8inch

 

 

so tell me how are the fender flares installed?
do you cut part of the fender edging off and then put the flares over that or what?

 

you just put them against your car and and bolt them on

 

well i knwo that, i was just wondering how they help with wider wheels. do they pull the normal flare out with it so that the wheel doesn't rub?

 

no they just stick out further than the normal fender

 

The fenders are merely a visual mod. The existing fender remains.

Sizzlin, maybe it's just the angle, but it looks like there's mad gap on the front wheel in the first pic... what's goin' on there?

 

ahh i see ok
so then should i worry about rub with 225/50/15 tires then? total diameter wise compared to stock it's only 2/10th's of an inch bigger and for ride higth i don't plan on droping more then an an inch and a half. for my purposes i'm also looking for higher compression springs for the back to go with the Tein SS-P coilovers being i'll have about 750lbs of extra weight primeral placed directly over the rear tires so i'm looking for stiffer springs from the back over 180lbs/in.

 

its just the picture, you cant really see the tires in the picture

 

will i have rub problems with 225/50/15 with an aprox 1.5" drop?

 

no you shouldntqa

 

nice fender flares

 

how about... 225/50/16 then?

or

245/45/16 ? *this is about 0.2" smaller then 225/50/16*

thanks.

 

you should be fine with only a 1.5" drop
