If you've got a set of fender flares on your car, 20mm-50mm or whatever size you've got, post em up!I'm hoping this will help provide some information for users looking into buying wider wheels/lower offsets with fender flares but aren't quite sure what kind of a setup they need.So along with your pics please post the size of your flares, wheel size, width, and offset.hope this works well :D

Every time someone post's a picture of that car, my pant's start fitting kind of funny. They get all snug like around the waist and crotch area.

i doubt they get any more snug than normal.

and i dont even like that hatchback, the flares arent my style, and the headlights are pretty wack. nice wheels though.

i need pictures of s13s with ONLY front wide fenders, pictures of s13s with ONLY rear overfenders, and pictures of s13s with both. now.

i need to see overfenders not flares. ive seen your car before, its alright, but it just proves that fender flares like that compensates for a low ride height.

i like to be lower than that.

aside from that, your tires look nice. i cant run that kinda meat at the ride height im used to.

by too much tire do you mean you have trouble breaking loose? are you running 255's?

I know this is a bit of a stretch and I apologize for digging up an olllllld thread but I need to know what fender flares these are.
I know they are not just ZG style. I need to know what they are or where I can buy them. Thanks in advance!
