They are 20x8.5 with Nitto 225/35/20. I have only had them for a few days but I have had less rub then I thought I was going to have. The only time it rubed was when I had a third person in the car so it looks like my car will be a two door for the summer haha. Anyway tell me what you think and Ill get some more pictures the first chance I get. Holla

[krispy03]

you need some tire shine https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

[Reelax]

yeah, you have stock suspension so it shouldn't rub. once you drop it (to get rid of the gigantic wheel gap), you might have more rub and may have to roll or cut out your rear fenders.

[quicksilver22]

eh' not my style...



but please don't tell me that i still see the stickers on your tires where your tread is.... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

[spartus]

That was on my way home they have worn of now. I just wanted to take a few pictures to show some peeps.

Cars dont have rear fenders?

Wheels are too big, looks way too un-proportional. Just run some 18s, looks better IMO

[spartus]

To each there Own I just wanted to be differnt man nothing wrong with that.

are you sure cars don't have these in the rear? if that's the case, where do rear fender flares go?

did u really think you could catch me slipping?

Your thinking rear skirts like old caddy's and my 91 chevy caprice, were the fender covers most of the wheels, if not what do you think rear fenders are?

I dont care what you both say..
I have a 3 year degree in Collision Repair and those are quaterpanels.
It goes
Fender- Apillar-Front door-bpiller-Rear door-cpillar/quaterpanel Or if its a SUV Dpillar

Read an I-car certification book for more detail.

[mrjaydeeone]

eh not my style
those IMO would look better on a high end car like a benz, etc.. just my .02
but to each their own

[datdude305]

i think the point gose to quarterpanel but also i think the dictionary explained the wheel well cover instead of the fender


I have a 3 year degree in Collision Repair and those are quaterpanels.

yo how hard was that? im thinking of going in to collision/body repair thats good money people always crash

Well I wouldnt just jump into it not knowing completely nothing about cars LOL..

The money is fine but I speak to Body men all the time..the insurance companies are getting bad and cheap on the body shops! They dont wanna fork out the money like it should be done by insurance companies and body men get the bad end of the deal....

So this is why I joined the Airforce with my same backgroud "A collision repair graduate" , and going into Aircraft Strcutural maintenance..with this option Free health , free dental , free room/food/good deals on overseas products..where can I go wrong; except if im deployed to iraq , which is very unlikely in my field.

so i guess we should all start calling them quarter panel flares from this moment forward, right? you should immediately crusade for an official ammendment to WEBSTER and OXFORD; the english speaking world will stand corrected.

btw, i don't care what i say either, but you should definitely send a letter to these guys to let them know of their error and provide them with your concise, informed terminology based on your "3 year degree in Collision Repair":


A - Automobile; B - Front fender; C - Rear fender; D - Lamp;E - Lamp

But look at this image. Check this Toyota's rear fender. You can notice that the reflection on the rear fender isn't perfect. Therefore, you can suspect that this rear fender has been damaged, although I think it's not too big a problem if only one body panel has been damaged. But at least you can ask for a lower price.

Stand up and follow the Enzo's fenders around to the cockpit, and the higher perspective reveals many intricate details.... However, Losee points out that this is to match the line of the air intakes on the rear fender, and gives the car a sense of motion even at a standstill.... Other design features built onto the top side of the car are the vents behind the front wheels, inlets on the rear fenders (top and bottom), and another pair of outlets nestled just in front of the rear wing, all to manage airflow and promote vehicle stability at speed.... The edgier lines up front now become smoother curves at the rear fender...

Dramatically flared front and rear fenders, a slinky aerodynamic profile and slightly upswept rear fenders put the Vigor GS at the head of the class in the sports sedan school of styling.... The rear fenders and upswept trunk lid highlighted the rear styling treatment. Oversized red and white tail-lamp assemblies wrapped around the rear fenders....

...The bolts must be spaced (1) through the front fender, (1) through the door and (1) through the rear fender or rear door. All bolts must face inward and must not have any excess hanging out subject to tech....

Rear fenders can usually be reached through the trunk or rear hatch of your vehicle.
these are just a minute sampling of the hundreds, if not thousands, more published examples available via search engine. you will be a semantics legend.

and as for I-CAR (the reference you just told me read in order to further educate myself)...


For example, the ULSAB body side, including the rear fender and roof structure, is all one part made from a tailor-welded blank that includes three grades of steel and five different thicknesses. By consolidating what have traditionally been multiple parts into one unit, designers also eliminate the weight of the flanges needed to weld the parts together.
i guess they don't agree w/ you either.

[Agent|THC]

Nice look, Dub's usually go well with dark colors, and always look good with black. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

...and why dont we just call em wheel wells? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

I dont want to start anything with your Reelax your a good person in my view and have alot of good input , perhaps other people call them Rear fenders. My teacher and my I-car manual always showed them to me as QuaterPanels. Your sources could be different from mine, not knocking the difference. Just showing what I was taught.. My teach has been doing Collision Repair since he was 18 and decided to be a teacher 3 years ago..and he taught me well in my mind.

[Serstylz2]

damn, dude took all that time jus to try to show u up... ahh TGC look what u do to folks https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

[jacuZZi]

i thought the quarter panel is the outter part of the body, not the inside rear wheel well.... but i dont know, i could be wrong.

Nice Bling Bling! 8)

Silly RABBIT " back and forth bitching over stupid shit is for kids " https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

so I ended it.

[Reelax]

no, no ill intent or hard feelings at all. i actually love to b challenged. research and the ability to overwhelm with hard proof is what got me where i am today. i always enjoyed proving my professors wrong in business school. they ended up having to give me A's since they almost invariably could not withstand my arguments and my research skills. this attitude and ability carried over to my career after college and now i own my own international business and am pretty much retired. i didn't really write that up to show you up bro, it was more to see if i could support my assertions... and that was only about 5-10 minutes of research. being pushed hard for supporting documents, i probably could have filled 250 pages of text! just having a good conversation! :thumbsup:

i've always wanted one of each but i'm not there yet (not w/o sacrificing the lifestyle i've become accustomed to); maybe in a few years. i am comfortable but not rich (by my standards). some of the properties i bought abroad should have appreciable equity in the short future; i may have a picture for you then.

[Lazarus]

not my style. cant race on those things. well you might be able to but you might have problems stopping. did you upgrade your brake system? When dealing with dubs that's always a smart investment

[spartus]

I havent upgraded them yet but thinking about it for the near future. Does anyone know where I can get a differnt grill ? I am having a hard time finding any.

[pLUGSNEt]

Nice wheels spart.. hehe just my style...... What you gonna do next :-)... maybe get your rotors painted man it will bring out the whells more.... trust me.....

[Blizz]

[spartus]

unless you want to swap your USDM headlights w/ the JDM/world version, you don't really have too many options (since JDM grills are narrowerr than the US version and will leave gaps); there a bunch of grills for the JDM version of our car. what a lot of members have done is cut the teeth out of the USDM grill and put mesh behind where the new large holes are left. it would look more like a JDM grill and much better than stock IMO. here is a USDM grill modded in the manner i described:

haha! this picture must b at least 4 years old! i hope he doesn't get mad at me for posting a pic of his ride in the pre-kit days!

here is another thread w/ pictures of JDM grills:

[spartus]

That looks really good though I do not think I wanna do any cuting. I wish I had the balls to do somthing like that it looks hot.

[spartus]

Just updated my cardomain site you guys should check it out and tell me what you think.
