Ohhh ok. I never realized it was a customer build. That's sad. If he ever gets it together post some pictures of it!

Ok my wheels and mock up tires arrived .. I set them under the car.. yes they stick out a bit but remember they will move in about 2 inches when they sit on the hub right now they are up against the old lugs... you can also see my starting point for my gt..

I know I will need big flares but look at what they look like on the car here are some examples im thinking about... what do the masses think looks the best...
Modified Sebring Flares

Custom Flares...

These are 240Z flares but they come in 3 inch wide version...

The Sebring or custom photos look good.

Have you seen the guy that split his MG down the middle and widened it 7" ? That is another good way to go but quite a bit more work.

The Z flares might work but they aren't that attractive in that particular photo, I don't think they could cover nearly as much tire properly either.

I like the sebring flares in both pics of the first post on this thread! They seem a little more integrated than the last options.

widened Sebring flares!

That will be a fun little rocketship.....

aussiebj 11-15-2013 09:27 AM

Yea I think the Sebring look is the winner.. now to find the rear flares first....

Dec 2013 update .. teardown begins... its amazing what you find once panels start to come off.. yes she needs some metal work .. I was perpared for that...
