Thread: Fitting Flexi flares question

Mt fronts are in fine. The rears are proving to be a 'little' more difficult.

What I can't decide on is where to position them. Anyone who has fit these before will know the fit doesn't make any sense. If you mark them to fit just under the swage line (same as the fronts), the indent for the lower swage doesn't line up and the bottom of the flares don't extend to the bottom of the doors. If you line up the indent on the flare with the lower swage, the flares sit much lower than the fronts.

Any opinions on this?

After I had the rear arch flare fitted I lined up the door ones to suit the lines of the rear arch. The rear door flare still doesnt run all the way to the bottom of the door but to be honest with the sliders fitted you don't notice this at all. Hopefully this photo will show the lines that I used.



The only thing I would suggest is to move the door flare as far forward as possible. I am running 265/75 on offset rims and a 2 inch lift and on the weekend I was managing to scrub the tyres on the rear doors still.

mate you wouldn't happen to have the measurements for those slider/steps laying around at all?..

cheers
