What wheels are those, and offset? They look sexy. I was thinking of rolling with these---> http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-531-Wh...53181542n1.htm They are 18x11 with a 20mm offset, I've read through this thread and the common thing is to look for a wheel 15mm and below, is 20mm gonna be to much and cause some issues? I apologize for my ignorance but I'm trying to double and triple check before I spend any serious cash. |

18x11 is great to start with.
But you do want the offset lower. You could get those and run a 10mm spacer and be fine if you wanted. |

Looks amazing man. I'm running the charge speed rear aprons/spats also, did you just cut the bottom of the flare off in the rear to make it fit with them? If so did you fill the opening in the base of the flare left after cutting?

Depating whether I wanna go with enkie rpf1s in 18x10.5 +15 or nt03 18x10.5 +30 I will also be using 25mm spacers because they only come in 5x114 and my hubs are only 5x100 I already have 295/30 tires. So what do the gurus have to say as far as advice?

Nt03 will be ur best option w that offset & tire size 'cause u'll practically be at 18X11.5 and rpf1's will need almost -4 of camber to fit properly. There are some scarce 5*100 wheels that wide u can get.

Yea, I just cut the flares. There really isn't any visible opening. Looks totally normal.

Cool thanks. I hear a lot people saying they don't rub. My concern is the rear because that a common problem area. In the pics it looks like you have a finger/finger and half gap, no rubbing?

No rubbing at all. There is nothing to rub on honestly. Everything has been cut off that would have rubbed.

Couple people I've spoke to said they rub on the under side of the rear door jam/fender. It's seems its a tight fit near the arching part, below the door latch. What areas did you cut? I've seen the post from T3hClap (or however it's spelled). Is that what you did, just the fender lip? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just questioning whether these are worth my time. I am extremely particular with aftermarket fitments. Lines have to be even, things can't rub or I don't sleep lol

Total material cut off the actual rear is about 3 inches wide or so. Once the outer skin was cut off, the inner skin is cut into sections and folded up over the outer skin and bonded together. I then trimmed any excess and cleaned up the seam once it had cured. |

I have a question for all you guys running these flares. If you don't feel like sharing I completely understand, but what would you say is the average cost of adding these including new wheel setup and body work/paint? Very curious to see what the actual cost has been for some of you. Thanks!

Rough guess on total cost for me to just do the flares with painting them (I did the install myself) is about $1000. Add my Advans and Tires into that and you are look at about $5000 roughly. |

Ive been looking at the Work CR Ultimate Concave 18x10.5 e22
$1000 was what I estimated it would cost to have them installed and painted. |
