Flares

[rokbebop]

I want to put these 30's on the Roza but as you can see in my photo they stick out slightly. I have one of the narrow track flares which just covers up the tread, however I cannot for the life of me get any more of them. (unless someone here has some they will sell / exchange. also I need that bumper corner ((pm me)) As many of you guys have put completely ridiculously fat tyres on your Ferozas, you must have gotten around this problem somehow. I am going relatively mild. I assume that some of you guys drive these things on the road and you don't get instantaneously defected. What is the best solution for this? I have seen those rubber ones on Fourbies driving around. The ones at a 4x4 shop i saw were insultingly expensive, as well as too big for my needs

Personally, I'd go with what you have there. i.e. Don't worry about it for 1/2 and inch of rubber.

Until the copper defect your car and wack you a $300 fine. And then you have to pay for the flares to clear your car. Do yourself a favour and get some to save the heart ach? If moneys a problem get garden edging from Bunnings.

Can people post some photos???

I can afford stuff. i just dont want to pay $180 for enough rubber to do all 4 arches. its annoying cuz most of the ferozas with the narrow track flares dont need them for any reason. Dont even know what Daihatsu put them on them for. it would be good to get them cuz then it would look stock.

That's these ones http://www.bushranger.com.au/flexy_flares.php

Yup, cough up $180 at your nearest Bushranger stockist, it's the cheapest option.

***lol i'm slow today***

They are normal ones but he's added rubber/plastic aftermarket flare to the guard's rim to create a slightly wider guard.

Aftermarket plastic wheel arch extension flares



Some guys buy small rubber conveyor belts and cut them into usable portions, just screw to the guard.

Not sure if it helps at all but I'm running 31" Big Horns muddies with standard offset 7" rims on my f300 and covered by narrowtrack flairs. The outer wall of the tyre is almost exactly in line with the edge of the flair, perhaps a 1 or 2 mil in. Have been puled over by the boys in blue twice now (rbt and then no rego sticker 'cause new windscreen). One young officer even wanted to talk about 4bys and asked if my body lift was difficult to diy. Nobody (at least 6 officers that saw me) mentioned anything about about tyre clearance. Got a safety cert done today and passed it, still nothing said about clearance. Am I just lucky?
