Flares for the S12.

Post by spiderwebfx »

I've decided to go with custom steel wheels on my S12 but have to run 25mm spacers on the front of it. To make this fit, I am going to need to run flares or something as the wheel centre fits flush with the guard (not taking into account the lip of the rim that sticks out another 25-30mm).

I've done some research and Zg Fairlady flares will fit perfectly but I can't figure out where I can get them. I know that they are 2 1/4" (57mm) so thought maybe these ones from Trademe would work but I'm not so sure.

Can anyone chuck in some personal experience and recommendations?

Just some info on the car:
Silvia S12
Front: S13/S14 Hybrid front suspension. S12 Crossmember, S13 front LCA's, S14 coilovers, S14 5 stud hubs, S14 turbo calipers and rotors.
Rear: Toyota Hilux diff (live axle), 5 stud, S14 rear calipers and rotors.

Wheels I want to run:
Front: 15x8 Soft-8's with 205/50(or 55)R15 tyres. Custom offset (TBC).
Rear: 15x9 Soft-8's with 225/45(or 50)R15 tyres. Custom offset (TBC) I may go 10's on the rear if I go with flares.
