Fender Flares anyone???

I have a set of 15x8 0 offset wheels that I use to run on my 03 NB Miata..I already plan on doing extensive fender rolling, but I know that's not going to cut it..Anyone know if anyone manufactures fender flares for the Fit?

Thanks in advance!

0 offset and 15x8? That is really pushing it. You are going to need some very wide fenders to make that work. As far as I know no one makes fender flares for the Fit but I am getting the Hyper Rev book of the Fit sometime in this next week so if anyone does make a set then it will definitely be in that book.

Pg 32 of the Hyper Rev book.

A&M Collection

There's a website but the addy doesn't work. (http://ww9.tiki.ne.jp/~clione)

They're basically add-on flares....doesn't really look that good.

Dougie,

I think +35 will work just fine. I am getting +33 so I think I have to roll the rear fenders.

Yeah I tryed them on a '00 Si and they did not hit the caliper. On all of our cars instead of rolling the fenders we just grind them. Les chance for chipping paint and makes for smooth edges.

What tool do you use to grind them? Dremmel?

You'd probably be there all day with a little dremmel.

It actually starts out with a air grinding tool and then finished with a dremmel...

I dont know if I like that Miata too much. I like big wide deep dish wheels just as much as the next guy but those wheels are a bit too wide for a car as small as the Miata in my opinion not to mention its completely pointless unless his putting down over 350whp or some crazy figure like that.

It all comes down to how much money you are willing to part with to make it fit..There is a place in Cali that specializes in rolling fenders, pay them $200 and they can make the wheels fit..
