            You can be respectfully denied. :p I am contemplating putting my chrome one back on. just so happens there isn't a single piece of chrome on the car right now, tho.

                          You can go ahead and add Eurostop flares to my list of future purchases....

                            Doesn't look like you will be needing flares at all..

                              theyll rub in hard corners. oh and the rears are closer to fitting than the front. Front need a spacer or I have to grind down the caliper carriers. not to mention, the rear are always more offset friendly than the front. 16x8 et10 225-50-16 fk452's

                              idk... hopefully new shocks in the rear will help before I drop the hammer on hacking the fenders.
