flared fenders
does anyone have pics of a fox body mustang with the front and rear fenders flared out. I saw LMR has 1.5 inch and 3 inch flared fenders and am just curious how this would look. ALso.... Does anyone have pics of a fox mustang with the FR500 wheels?
thank you

You don't need any flares to fit all the same size in all corners. I have 275/40/17's all the way around and have NO rubbing up front. People say it can't be done but I have done it and with nothing special. The rears rub around corners a little but thats bc the rear end moves too much with stock suspension.
fs308 that thing looks kinda sexy....

what kind of wheels, what size and what backspacing? that would be great if I don't have to get the flared fenders. Is your suspension stock or lowered?

Mine are stock 98 GT wheels. IDK what the specs are besides 17x8's. Alot of people have problems with 9 inch wide wheels in the front. I am using 96+ spindles and have BBK specific rate springs. You can see in my sig that the wheels don't stick out of the fenders. Remember that 91-93 fenders have a wider wheel opening too so that also helps.
