Hi Everyone,
Will be fitting spaced drums to the van on the weekend, it is getting original dunlop alloys 10x5's put on it with 165 tyres. What would be best flares to fit without having to modify anything, they are for a leyland van. Wheels stick just under a centre metre at the moment with normal drums but will have spaced ones put on.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Steve

If it is not going to be a show car then the easiest and cheapest option is the black plastic screw on flares. About $60 a set.

I have Leyland S rims with 165 Yoko A008's and I haven't had to worry about flares.
1 deg neg camber gives me about 5mm inside the wheel arch trim.
Also the A008's appear skinnier compared to the semi slicks I had which also helps.

Will def sit out too far with spaced drums, I might go cheapy flares as suggested and spray them.
Cheers,
Stevd
