hey guys, does anyone know how to flare fenders? i am thinking about getting this done to fit a 255 on a 17x9 +45 up front. please let me know, thanks.

 

Lol I tried to do this when I bought a set of RPF1's with those exact sizes and 255 all around. I called Area 1320 in PA to see if they could do it as they seemed to have the best reputation. For front flaring they said they would only do it if I signed a waiver saying if they messed up they didn't owe me anything because the fronts are difficult to get right due to the shape/angles.

I ended up selling the wheels because I wasn't willing to spend that much effort to make them fit.

Doesn't mean it can't be done though, a lot of people on here have done them. Alternatives are to buy new wide fenders, i think the ones i looked at were like Downforce 30mm+ ones or something.

 

All you need is a fender roller, a heat gun, a steady hand, and some patience

 

AREA1320 did my rear quarter panels

then Justin @ JTM originals flared and repainted my front fenders... he has a shop right in Warwick near bonehead performance. dropped them off to him on a thursday and they were done by the next week

with a 17x9.5 +38 on a 255

 

Agree.

I have 9+45 255/40 fronts which did not fit. I went online and almost bought skinnier tires. Ended up going to Lowe's and getting a heat gun and did it myself in 1.5 hours.

Don't be intimidated. Not difficult, just takes a little patience. You'll be happier in the end.

 

Pm olegator he's in Maryland but hes done some mid a guys fenders he's good. he quoted. Me 180 for all four corners

 

thanks guys, i already have my rears trimmed by s factor and just needs cut down a little further on the one side, once thats done my rears are fine. thanks guys for those suggestions, ill def get it taken care of.

 

Don't forget to let me know when you could come by.

 

Harry- I thing the flaring looks better bc it streches out the fender more to match the tire width IMO

 

i wont S factor, i dont want to keep driving to much with -2.4 degrees of camber in the rear. id rather be at 2.0 for least tire wear as i can get. My car is at the shop at the moment though. i will keep in touch!
