What would be a good flare to use on a nt Sierra.
Panel to tyre side wall is 100-110mm

Was thinking between jeep flares, double black, or bushwackers (4.75)
Does anyone know how wide jeep or double black flares are

Cheers

If i had my choice again i would choose the double black offroad flares. From what i've seen they can take a beating and are alot cheaper than the brittle bush wackers.

[zooky08]

I was leaning towards the double black flares as well
But Don't know if there wide enough.

Sorry to jump in on your thread but...

Is there 2 sizes of the "Doubleblack" flares
In some pictures on here they look wider than in others

[rpmwrx]

[jonno_racing]

also been hearing reports about them seperating and not being great quality. sound a bit hit and miss

i got quoted $475 deliverd 2.

[zooky08]

Yea they say they cover upto a 34 inch tyres
Mines a nt with wt diffs so they should be wider then 100mm that I need to cover

That doesn't matter. The body will still be the same width, nt or wt. Only difference is that the wt has the wider factory flares to cover the tires.
What rim offset are you running?

[zooky08]

I was told they are 0 offset

[JrZook]

How wide are they and what width are treads?

Mite help you but I have 30x9.5's on -13 15x7 rims and the stock plastic flares are only about ~25mm short of completely covering them.

Has anyone tried painting the double blacks?

yeah i was looking into this as my flairs are the most bent part of my whole zook. i have given in, i bought a set of plastic wt flairs from jas and am going to get new clarke rubber PROPER flair extentions and 2 boxes of big headed rivets. and pain the actual flair black 1/4 of the price of double blacks and should be nearly as good.

I used plastic wt flares, with nt flares pop rivetted on to them,
did well for many years like that. The plastics aren't as wide as the metal ones, but are close.

[christover1]

Rear only on this old shot,
front right was always a bunnings one, cos I could only get 3 WT flares

[jonno_racing]

i bought 4 for $150

Okay I could only see 3", 6", and 7" flares
6" and 7" is to much I think

Hey Jas can you measure your 3" jeep flares for me please(in mm's)
I know they say 3" but are they actually 3"(75mm)
