okay so im pretty sure i am about to hear alot of "no way"s but im going to try, i just need to know how i can flare the fenders out... and i mean FLARE.. because i was talking with a gent from southcarolina when he said "you need wheels?" well as fortunate as ive been my luck didnt run out.. he gave me 20"s as of right now their runing a 275/50/R20
i have a set of 245/35/R20s which yes i had to buy... anyways theyre off a toyota landcruiser maybe...? idk but they bolt up just theyre kinda wide... like really wide i dont remember how many inches but its pretty massive... so out with the fender wells... who needs em'? but on the rest.. what can i do?

well in the back you can narrow the axle, and probably mill the wheels down a few mm's... and as for the front well if 4x4 fenders will not be enough then get out be prepared for many long nights and days of fab work.

hahah thats funny i know this is an old post but onetime i was at the scrap yard picking up a rearend and my tires were scrubing on my static drop this old scool guy came over with a baseball bat and flared my fenders with it by wedging the bat in front of the tire then having me drive forward slowly sort of acted like a roling pin it actualy looked pretty sweet...said they used to do it "back in the day"

haha,that's a good way to roll your fender lip!


Widow,maybe it's time to brush up on your fiberglass skills and make a custom widebody B2200.
