That would require him doing two things. changing his drums and/or wheels and filling the holes already in the van for said flares. easier to put the flares on. But i'll admit, i'm biased towards flares as it allows wider wheels and/or track and promotes better handling. Just what i did to NAV and will never look back.

If you have S disc brakes and 10s you are pretty restricted in what wheels fit without flares. Think- S steel wheels, 4.5 Minilites or LS Contessas.
If you have Honda discs and 10s like Gaf does, there's no way out- it'll need flares on, and either Mini offset Contessas or similar.

Either way I think vans look better with flares on them... The bigger the meaner looking :twisted:
