BOLT ON FLARES 2007 GT LIBERTY WAGON?

Postby Tempodoe » Sun Feb 07, 2016 6:48 pm

Just got new rims for my 07 GT Spec B and they poke out the guards a little.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any bolt on flares or some other solution for my problem
Cheers

Roll the guards
Add a little camber with bushes, arms or coilovers...
Use slightly stretched tyres.

What's the width and offset of the new rims?

Doing flares properly requires cutting the guards.
Getting a little tuck with rolled guards requires some trimming of the guard liners and bumper mounts.

Look at Owens profile as he recently got some wide pokey rims fitted with rolling and trimming to suit.
Actually it was posted on facey: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1680551 ... 462891728/
He moved up from 18 8.5 +35 which requires rolling mainly.
Compare the various fitments on a rim & tyre calculator to get an idea.
Dropping the rear shock lower mount and raising the wheel into the arch is another way to check for clearance for rolling and trimming.
