Pics of Quarter Flares with 285/40/17 tires

[REPLIMOD #17]

Here are some pics of my quarter flares from start to now...
My recent rear brake upgrade pushed my wheels out about a half inch, so now I'm afraid I need more backspacing...
Let me know which wheels you guys like better...

looks awesome, wish i had the skills to do that...just one thing, why is the tire going in the wrong direction in those last few pics?

Thanks!

Very observant of you...

It was just a test fit. I didn't even have my lug nuts bolted on.

You know what, I clicked on this thread to see just how bad it looked (images of 70s flares running through my head). In the first couple of images I was very doubtful, but as I went down the pictures I became more and more impressed. Not thinkin that I would do it to my car, but it looks good! Congrates on the project!

looking good, personally I'd go with the second wheels, but that's just my opinion.

One word, "Skill".

i like the shape at the top of the wheel well,its gradual and you really cant tell its flared, but i think a longer flare towards the bottom would look better and have the end point of the flare not so exagerated where it meets the "stock" fender

i like the second wheel better

 

[nugget68]

got a better pic of the first wheel?

 

[Taranis]

Definitely the second wheel

Lookin' good. I wish I had those skills....

Same here. Nice job.

Definitely the 2nd wheels.

Those are the scoops that go with the Eleanor kit...any supplier that sells the kit should be able to get you the scoops...
I just molded them in nice and neat in order to keep the cars lines as smooth as possible...
