Yes the ones in my link are only only bolt on. You could still go to town with an angle grinder if you wanted to though lol Last edited by Jezza; 24-03-2014 at 04:07 PM. |

^Would you still need to drill bolt holes on your existing fender though? or they just glue on?

I would say they need rivets or nuts & bolts.
Could probably get away with mounting tape, but it's gonna wreck your panel and paint either way if you wanted to remove them again |

What I make out of all of this is: if one is decided on flares+big wheels/tyres, one has pretty much given up on their stock fenders, it'll be either wrecked or chopped, and flares will have to stay on for good.

Yes. Your dreaming if you think you could add something like that without having to chop or drill your fenders.

Jezza, forget the flares mate way too much work to do it, which would I believe necessitate an engineer sign off to make it legal. I'm running 18X10 on the wagon with 285 tyres & I had to cut a good 40mm pretty much all the way around the wheel arches to give enough clearance. My wheels stick out 68mm more than the standard outer like of the guard.
Bigger wheels also mean more load on wheel bearings, more load on driveline components, etc, etc. Just get a set of nice wheels, with the correct offset to fill the standard guards comfortably. P.s Burke is gay with Tommy Tran
