spiderwebfx Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I've decided to go with custom steel wheels on my S12 but have to run 25mm spacers on the front of it. To make this fit, I am going to need to run flares or something as the wheel centre fits flush with the guard (not taking into account the lip of the rim that sticks out another 25-30mm). I've done some research and Zg Fairlady flares will fit perfectly but I can't figure out where I can get them. I know that they are 2 1/4" (57mm) so thought maybe these ones from Trademe would work but I'm not so sure. Can anyone chuck in some personal experience and recommendations? Just some info on the car: Silvia S12 Front: S13/S14 Hybrid front suspension. S12 Crossmember, S13 front LCA's, S14 coilovers, S14 5 stud hubs, S14 turbo calipers and rotors. Rear: Toyota Hilux diff (live axle), 5 stud, S14 rear calipers and rotors. Wheels I want to run: Front: 15x8 Soft-8's with 205/50(or 55)R15 tyres. Custom offset (TBC). Rear: 15x9 Soft-8's with 225/45(or 50)R15 tyres. Custom offset (TBC) I may go 10's on the rear if I go with flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenga Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I got mine custom made by GT Refinishers. I run the same size tyres only a bit smaller rims. I run 15x8 custom Diamond Racing wheels on the rear with 225/50/R15 tyres and 15x7 with 205/50/R15 on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 How about cby flares? They'd suit the square lines of the car. Nothingsfree has had a mould made to delete the kickouts for the AE86 bumper if required too: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 ^where can you get those from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I think Surfab in CCH will have the ones above for sale. The standard AE86 ones pop up on trademe sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
