    Thanks,
    I am interested in how they function, more than how they look. I am curious to see how much rubber you can sqeeze under them before i buy.

      With the right offset wheels you should have no problem up to 275 rears:)

        Ary, I finally got some pics this past weekend from the local autoX.

        I'm running 17x7 225's with an effective 8 et in the front and 17x9 255's with an effective 25 et in the rear. No rubbing issues at all. Currently I have GC's with 450f/650r and have plenty of room to fit way more tire. I plan to be running a 285 rear and a 245 front on 10's and 8's soon.

        The flares are great. I had to do a little massage on the front fenders to get them to match up like I wanted, but I expect everyone will unless your fenders are perfectly straight, mine weren't (it's a toy, not a dd). The quality on the fiberglass is fantastic. I am beyond satisfied!!!!

          I thought I'd put up a pic to show the difference straight on of the original fender vs. the rivet fender flare.

              Lookin good man! Rear tires look pretty tall. Are they 255/45/17?

              Im really looking forward to pics with the 285's. If you are gonna get new wheels, why not go with a square setup, with 285 front and rear?

                they are tall compared to say a 15" wheel/tire combo, but for a 17 they are pretty much what you are gonna get. Its a 255/40/17 out back and a 225/45/17 out front. They are both 25" tall. If you go with a 285/30/18 its going to be 24.5" tall, for a Kumho, but that is what I plan on running. It may be slightly different for a different manufacturer, but its going to be close.

                As far as being square all around as opposed to the staggered setup I have, I just like the way the car handles with the staggered setup. I have the car very neutral at this point with the staggered wheels/tires. I found that the car was tail happy with the same size front and rear, and a 225 was plenty tire to keep the braking bias I like. A 245 front and 285 rear may be a bit much, I'm not sure yet, but I will just have to play with it. Right now I'm running the UUC swaybarbarian and GC/Bilstein with a 2640lb. weight on about half a tank of fuel. Personally, I think a 285 front and rear is too much, but I see many people running the 275/15 tire/wheel combo from Hoosier and they like it. I just feel the car is much more neutral with a staggered setup.

                  Ary, I'm interested in these for my 2 door. I might be going to 275/35/15's for auto-x, and I MIGHT try and get this done in less than 3 weeks before nationals. Do you have these available to ship soon? Thanks

                        Any pics of a 4dr with only rear flares? I like the look of pulled front fenders but the rears need flares.

                          It looks like these rivet on flares we designed are the best selling flares in the e30 market!:)
