howdy, another unsearchable question here..
im just wondering if anyone has done this efore-the fender flare conversion.
im planning on doing it over my x-mas break and just had one question about it.
if i do so, how much do i need to space out my tires? im just gonna pick up some wheel spacers and need to know how big i should get them. i run 30x9.50s right now with a 2 inch lift, but will be going a little bigger come the begining of the yeaqr.
thanks guys
:spin3:

For 30x9.5's? You have enough spacing now.

I'd install the flares and then measure to where you think they will look good and buy that size spacer. It depends on what you think looks right. Besides, you didn't mention your backspacing, wheel type or width or any of that. I did have the same size tire on some stock steelies with the same flares and they looked too narrow. I don't think you could install enough spacers to make the ones I had look good.

Why would you want to space out your tires? Maybe your wheels. You can get a set of good looking wheels for cheap, might be a better alternative to wheel spacers.

Yeah, I wouldn't do it. TJ flares make my 35s look small, 30s will look like skateboard wheels...

two cents...
