Fender/wheel Arch Flares On R32's

[funkymonkey]

I wouldnt bother to be honest. Sure it will look different but its going to cost you, and surely that cash could be well spent in the braking/suspension area instead

I've got my spring rate and dampening just right, and I've upgraded to R33 GTR brakes all round. ATM the outside of the car looks like poo, but the internals and handling are ace.

I'm not big fan of huge widebody kits anymore, after driving a kakimoto R33 with 355's on the back for a while on the street. Plus the streetability of a widebody kit is non existant, which is why I sold my original BN Sports kit.

The flares are so I can go a little bit further up from the 8" wide GTR wheels I have atm, and also to bring the look of the R32 up to speed with current designs on cars.

URAS, I've found fender flares in japan and can import them as well... I'd rather just find a local fibreglasser who's making them so I can just grab a pair, and see what modifications I'd have to make to blend the factory lines in with the flares.

I have a set of Work VS-XX's with B disc centres, which clear GTR brakes, sitting in my garage... sif put drifteks on a car. Did a 235/45/17 stretch onto the 10.5" wheel for shits n giggles. Might end up having to buy 265's or something.

hmmm Im running 9 inch 33 gtr 235's rims all round with just the lips folded in

I think you should be able to go wider than 8's without having to do much at all

i was planning 9.5"s and 10.5"s. plus I don't like the look of rolled guards... they just look so ghetto.

I remember seeing a post from an r32 gtr owner saying he has 10.5's under the guards without dramas (no doubt lipped though).

Oh well, time for monkey to spend some cash and import some fenders

Went thru some of my old mags and found an ad for a chargespeed overfender kit for R32 GTR's. Perfect. They'll look so baller when colour matched and blended into the guards.

also found this on yahoo...

That last post. looks chunky cause it goes all the way down to the bottom on the rear. Not sure if thats a good thing or bad.

Love the rims and the dish

The one with the white 32 looks good. Nice and bold. Just the arch.

Not sure what "look" your looking for though.

Honestly not a fan of the ones that go all the way down.

I reckon the ones Nismo Boy posted would look alright if it was all complete. Thought it would look shit, but doesn't look too bad.

Love the Equips on the 180/240 though.
