Finally got to putting 31's on my Vit on Sunday but they stick out the guards a fair bit. Dont really want to fork out for decent flares yet so going with Clark Rubber/Bunnings. Does anyone know if all Clark Rubber stores stock Flare rubber or is it only some? I can't see it on the website but maybe I'm just not looking in the right place! Thanks

Have you tried looking in or calling your local store?

Out if the 2 or 3 Clark rubber places I've been into, they've all had 2 different kinds of rubber flare (50mm and 65mm?) for $24 or so a metre.

Hey Buzbox local store isn't really close so didnt want to go for a drive to be empty handed. Can't call til after work just thought this might help me narrow down where to call exactly. From Sideways comment it sounds like most stores have them so I'll pick the closest and see how i go. Thanks for the help

I should probably mention that Clark rubber are more expensive (for everything) than your average rubber supplier. It may pay to check if there's a rubber extruder in your area.

Thanks for the heads up, I assumed they were cheaper going by all the Clark Rubber suggestions in posts, not the case then! Wasnt going to look on ebay because of the wait but if it's in AUS may not be so bad just don't want to be picked on for tyres.
