Not welded in flares but cut, pulled and smoothed out again. I allows me to run 16x8's out back.

Are those 951/944 16x8s in the rear? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Cool!!! What size tires are you running .... the profiles look 'just right'! .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks. I can't even begin to add up how many hours are into those fenders. It was really important to me to keep the factory lip and arch in place while still getting them stretched enough to fit the wider wheels. At the end of the day the body shop is very proud of their work but I'm not convinced they would ever work on another car for me. But it was worth it IMHO. I got the exact "look" that I wanted. The tires are 225/50/16's

Uhhhhh....no. Those tires had a date code of 1999 with sidewalls that were covered in cracks. So they were replaced with these. A 245/45 is not a very common tire and these have almost the exact physical dimensions. I was surprised to see the variance between different manufacturers on the same size tire. That said, I still got a smoking deal on the wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here is an after picture from all of the work Jeff did on post 21
He does great work.

Stellar work from the PNW crew on that one. I just can't get used to it. If you are going to flare, then mean it. Those are like dimples. No offense intended. Dimples are cute.

It's all about taste. My personal taste is, if you need a little extra fender room, then stretching the stock fender like a muscular bulge looks great. Doing a wonky fender flare looks funky.

How big do you want to go?

I was thinking at least 245/40-17, possibly 265's for the rear and 225/50's for the front. Nothing real radical and keeping alot of the look and opening of the stock body, i.e. no round flares. I think the body needs the stock fender opening for visual balance but I want the rubber. Tangerine flares look good but pricey- same with Sheridan. I've got some cutouts from a GT install a buddy did (he does great work) and I'm thinking of working them in somehow...

Way awesome! Looks like you helped me make a tire decision! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

BTW are those 951/944 16 x 7s on the front?

I have no idea were these flairs came from. I bought the car with them on. I believe the other 914 is an original 914-6 GTAttached Image Attached ImageAttached ImageAttached Image

I'm looking for something a little different than the standard 914-6 flares we see. They do look good, but are there other options that are more unique?


Mines got a Sheridan kit.



Where did you get the rear ducktail spoiler? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Fronts are Patrick Racing flares. Backs are 11" further modified by McMark. Look nice when they are freshly painted.
