Hmm! Not sure if they are roundie flares? They fitted OK except for the rear as they were meant for a sedan and I had to modify the areas around the seams. I know they are the same as the flares on the 1275 LS where I stole the wheels from. :lol:

They really do need to cover the full width of the tyre for various reasons...
1) It is illegal not to.
2) Your side windows will get dirty very quickly from the extra dirty spray when it rains.
3) You throw rocks at other cars.
4) You get stone chips up the side of your car.

Cover your tyres properly for farks sake. :mrgreen:

Isn't it funny how tractors and jacked up Hiluxes/Landcruisers/Jeeps etc get away with most tread hanging out. :lol:
Not that I condone this sort of thing, but... :shock:

I thought you could have .5 of on inch exposed. Maybe that is just something I heard that is incorrect.
