I'm starting a GT project and need to source a set of steel GT wheel arches.
I've seen that Dansk and Restoration design have them, but is there difference in size, shape and fitting? I've seen some description that Dansk ones can accept up to 9J in width, but I do not want my car to look to wide. Anyone have experience with both vendors parts? |

I'm starting a GT project and need to source a set of steel GT wheel arches. I've seen that Dansk and Restoration design have them, but is there difference in size, shape and fitting? I've seen some description that Dansk ones can accept up to 9J in width, but I do not want my car to look to wide. Anyone have experience with both vendors parts? The physical dimensions of all 3 sources should be identical as standard GT flares can accept up to 8J in the front and 9J in the rear without modifications. Of course, you have to have the correct offset on your wheels. You can always run smaller rims with a different offset, nobody forces you to run 9J wheels in the rear. Case in point, i run 7J with 225 tires on all 4 corners using wheel spacers to make sure the wheels fill the wheel arches nicely. As mentioned above, there isn't much feedback on the Dansk flares yet so i can't comment on their fit. The RD/AA flares are good quality but do require some fitting and smoothing. As do the factory flares by the way, they are far from perfect either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
