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. |

Mines a nt with wt diffs so they should be wider then 110mm 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? |

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. |
