Yes, but you will need the brackets that attach the flare to the body too. these are spot welded to the body on WTs.

It would be possible to make brackets to do this too. Note though that most WT flares are steel and are easily damaged, espcially on a NT zuk.

of course it is! there exactly the same body!! but why would you do it? The tyres would then be even further under the guards and would look ridiculous!

what are ya chasing? if ur just wanting to cover tyres that stick out, it might be easier to screw some garden edging ($26 for 6mx15cm from bunnings) on if there's a horizonal surface to screw into (inside the guards), or perhaps some rubber flares from clark rubber, is like $10-15/m, can get that in different types, to screw into vertical or horizontal surfaces.... heaps cheaper than buying bushranger or whatever the brand name stuff is.

just another option, prolly easier than trying to do the flares. doesn't look as bling tho :D

Or just get some flexi-flare. Rubber places or 4wd stores should be able to point you in the right direction.

do believe i just mentioned that :D

don't get it from a 4by store tho, it's heaps more expensive for the same thing (almost identical), get it from clark rubber
