chartoo Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Hi So ive got me a set of zg flares and some beautiful wheels to match. Ive read the great write up by Austin Hoke and some of the posts made by people here aswell. Made sure ive got the fronts and rears on the right way and the left and the right on the right way. BUT.... i still cant make the rears fit 100% flush. The front of the rear flare fits well because it can only go in one spot but i cant sem to make the back part of the rear flare fit well. Coupla questions: Do the bottoms edges of the rear flares have to be at the same height ? On some cars they are and on other theyre not Mine? Too high in the rear? Does the rear edge of the rear flares fit flush to the body? cause mine always leaves a gap between the body and the flare created by the buldge of where the bolt goes. doesnt matter if i fit it higher or lower. Should i dent the body to make a depression for the bolt depression in the flare? Gap wont go away with bolt depression there Anyone done this is perth. I could use a hand and beer will be provided Quote

Mine fit fine with the contour of the body. The rubber fills any small gap. Coupla questions: Do the bottoms edges of the rear flares have to be at the same height ? On some cars they are and on other theyre not Mine? Too high in the rear? Hmmm both sides same on mine. Pic below for comparsion. Does the rear edge of the rear flares fit flush to the body? yes Should i dent the body to make a depression for the bolt depression in the flare? no should'nt have to. I would suggest to borrow some others to check if the set you have are true. Sulio Quote
