Zac88 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Looks like we'll never get Karlton flares again so I'm looking for another alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Fit a set of OB flares. I would bet that they would look great on an LGT if put on correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBwrench Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Fit a set of OB flares. I would bet that they would look great on an LGT if put on correctly. I second that. The only issue would be making their union with the bumper covers aesthetically pleasing. The outbacks have a little flare molded in, that lines up with the fender flares. So maybe, with a little creative sanding, you can refine some OB flares to fit quite nicely...

The rears even retain the legacy clip positions, they literally pop into place! I second that. The only issue would be making their union with the bumper covers aesthetically pleasing. The outbacks have a little flare molded in, that lines up with the fender flares. So maybe, with a little creative sanding, you can refine some OB flares to fit quite nicely... Look for some damaged/scrap OB bumper covers and chop them up for the molding. I found an aftermarket brand front bumper cover that didn't pass QC and the rear was from a totaled OB on here. I've been working on these for awhile. They fit pretty good, but you'll definitely need to spend some quality time with a dremel. Just go slow, and don't trim away too much at a time. I was going to have these on this month, but I got backed into last week, so they're on hold until my quarter panel isn't warped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collin9338 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 How many extra mm of room do you get? I want something wide enough to fit the 18-19.5 -5 offset wheels I just ordered wrapped in 265/35's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you send them back? if really 18x9.5 -5 offset wheels with 265/35's, you're going to need more than flares. You'll be cutting sheet metal or replacing wheel bearings at a fast clip. The outline in green is your new setup: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=215&aspect=55&diameter=17&wheelwidth=7&offset=55&width2=265&aspect2=35&diameter2=18&wheelwidth2=9.5&offset2=-5#content Orange is the stock setup.

So at -5, OP would poke 40mm farther out than you. 1.5 inches further.... Got pics of your setup? Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
