I need some help finding fender flares. I have checked out J-Spec.com and Importfan and havent found what Im looking for. I am looking for the bolt on style overfender type flares. I have found the ones on Jspec but the were only 30mm wider, And I need somthing over 50 or so. In case you wondering the wheels are 15-8.5 with a 4 inch lip on the back. I think bomex *might* have them but Im not sure about it. Any ideas? The car is a s13 coupe.

that really doesn't sound like you need huge flares.have you bolted them up? i have 10's in the back with +20 and only need 20mm of flare.i'm doing my own with a portapower this weekend.

Yeah, These have a funky -10 offset. Man using a portapower is serious stuff. I think a set of 50s would be fine considering the fit I want.

yeah, i wasent planning on flaring them till I got the wheels in. But I gotta do it. These are the exact wheels I wanted 15-8.5 inch in back and 7.5 in front. Gold Southern Ways with polished lips, Im gonn ahave to restore them since the are probley over 15 years old but the fit the look im going for with my car. In other words if the havent made it since 95 or so I dont want it, Well except for my turbo.

Somebody called ma name:D ?

My flares are universal but it was molded on. I also think you dont need a 50mm fender. Mine's 30mm and I have 10.5 w/ -2 offset, so its like 4in lip. If you want the bolted up ones, contact [email protected]. He can tell you where he got his.
