Mattt Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hey guys, ive just spent a few hours looking through tech threads on the net about flaring wheel arches. my question is has anyone got any real world experiance with flaring wheel arches similar to the ms65 crowns. what i would like to do is take the factory flare and continue on the flare at the part where the it currently flattens out. i know you can do this on cars that have a smaller flat as described here: http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/10828-How-To-Flare-Guards and this is also the method i would like to try. just with the flat being so big on the crown i'm worried it wont flare out nicely and i will end up destroying my guard. what do you guys think?

Nominal Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Good thing about metal, if you balls it up it can usually be fixed with a welder and new metal. How about a pic of the crown for reference/comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattt Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 i would but somethings gone up the shit and i can't post images at the moment? i'm considering getting some 15x10s for the rear and know it's going to need a little massaging but also like to have the fronts the same as the rear.

toy-mota Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I have just finshed flaring my ms65 guards with one of those tools,the rear guards didnt flare it only pushed the lip in,and the front gaurds after removing the inners pushed the lip in and flared it out to about 15mm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS 2 THE DEEE Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If you want to run 15x10 you will need to pump them out a bit to do it properly look at how sheepers did his rear arches in his crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
