240sx Wide Body/Flares Thread

[HashiriyaS14]

I've been trying to find some flares for the S13, so far just the crappy ebay universal ones and the JUN $400 ones

$400 for all 4?

That actually isn't half bad, considering the quality. I might have to look into that.

[thenillaz]

I take back what I said about flares all looking the same. The JUN ones look more defined and agressive than the chargespeed and others.

Found this pic on Z ilvia, Flash/G Corporation from what they said.

Do oem style fiberglass fender exist? Ive been thinking about fenders but worry about the safety in a crash.

[SilviaSlydSydway]

I like those rear quarter pieces, underneath the park lights. ANyone know who makes those. I've come to the conclusion that those sorts of pieces are the hardest to find body pieces for the s13.

I don't want the ugly jdm optional ones that have the curved down lip and fugly bumper piece.

I would like to know too

[LostAndFound]

can we see more pics of flares or over fenders on coupes. im contemplating doing this when I do my body work. It looks great on the hatches though, but i still need to beconviced about the coupe

They look like the ones from the 'Nismo' body kit you find on ebay.

50mm overfenders make a HUGE difference. I put on 10.5 inch wide rear wheels with a 32(?)mm offset and may still need spacers to get them to where they don't look sunken in. And I am a fan of the rivet/screw look. Looks more race-ish. Plus, if you hit something drifting, or being a dumba$$, they are easily replaced. And I did pound my factory wheel wells up to the bodyline for added tire clearance, then undercoated it to prevent rust.

here's a couple pictures of teamate "prodigy". the "drift slut" is a work in progress. rears are origin, i don't recall what the fronts are.

[lbrowne]

I just put these on my project car last weekend, chargespeed... covers the whole quarter.

Those look easy to install. How much? Anymore pics of fitment?

How about the finished product? For me I would go 30mm for sure.

Here, check this link out. $99 a pair, front and rears available.

I think that's $99 each....Quote:

Stock Code: NI2489943FFJMEF Unit/measure: ea Location: Vendor Name: Vendor Part No.: Material: FIBEREGLASS On-hand qty.: -1.000

Otherwise I'd buy them although somehow $200 for flares makes me want to get just 30mm front fenders for same/little more money instead.

My new wheels are going to be sticking waaay out when I get my new wheel studs and SPL Gorilla lug nuts to mount them. My oem studs are stripped. I was wondering what Fender flares might looks like on a stock coupe body. I know they would make the wheels looks flush since I'd guess that mine are at least 30mm outward in the front.

[nismofly]

^^ what sizes are your new wheels?

here's a couple pictures of teamate "prodigy". the "drift slut" is a work in progress. rears are origin, i don't recall what the fronts are.

im looking forward to seeing this a little farther along

[awesomenick]

I agree, I've got more...I can't figure out who it belongs too,or where I got the pictures.

maybe it's just the angle but it looks like the front fenders are just rolled.....

[boznuttz]

15x7 with 195 60 tires. I JUST bought them off another Nico member, but the offsets are CRAZY and I love how they look. I'll get some decent pictures when I mount them later this week. These pictures are just a test fit on stripped studs. The wheel gap with them is only about 2.5 inches or so, and they stick out about 30 mm or so. I was wondering if I should go ahead and get fender flares to make the wheels look more flush AND kill off a good amount of fender gap.

[dickie]

sure!

[boznuttz]

It looks like they could take away the appearance of the wheel and fenger gap:



From Inertiadrift's car several months ago I believe.

[dickie]

yeah, i would do some leet visual measuring and fab some temporaries out of cardboard to test it out. stick it on with tape and decide from there.

[boznuttz]

I figure I'll go for them anyway once I sell a few more parts. I'll eventually pick up a set of 180sx sideskirts or something similar so the fenders won't look so out of place.

I'd like to do that, or trade my suspension setup for a set of coilovers. Then I'll drop the damn car and roll them fenders like there's no tomorrow.

Here are a few more of that Zenki...







Other sweet looking rides, none of which belong to me...

[Got Turbo]

i love the look of fender flares but only if they have been molded in, the rivits arent as appealing. the zenki wide body is insane very very nice!

[boznuttz]

Wow, looking at some of these other cars, it looks like I can easily hide 2 or so inches of fender gap if I were to go that route.

[Baron Fel]

who makes the front fenders on that black zenki? that is the style I want, where the back of the fender just drops off.... mmmmhhhmmmm

[boznuttz]

More pictures guys! I know they exist, and I would really liek to see some flares on an s13 that isn't slammed.

[boznuttz]

I should rephrase my question:

Are there any pictures of fender flares with s13s on a spring/ strut combo?

[WideBodyCharlie]

coupe origin over fenders on a hatch. i know wheels don't fit. they where on there for the pics only.

i am going to start another thread about my wheel "problem" check it out if your good at offsets, and wheel spacers.

[boznuttz]

Not bad, keep 'em comming!
