irdave Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Apparently it's not auto-linky anymore... '74 Marlboro livery, wide, Koogled, from the UK... I think his Insta has to do with Dave Smith 5185. Edited December 20, 2020 by irdave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably all started with seeing this render... The eBay ones are not the greatest quality. I wonder if he is using Clinched flares? They are what the eBay ones are copied off of. Check out Clinched Classic 9cm flares. Those are definitely the 9cm ones. We sell them at danjermotorsports.com The hardest part with running flares this wide is getting the wheel out far enough properly. Unless he made wider control arms front and rear, he would have to have close to a 50mm spacer in the rear and a 20mm in the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJer Motorsports Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 For reference, my car has the 5cm flares, 15x8 et0 wheels with 205’s. I have to run a 20mm spacer in the rear. The front has our wide control arms and camber plates. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm interested in the flares you guys have... The front of my car is pretty taken apart and way up on jackstands, but the rear is on the ground. Really crudely, rear outside of tire to outside of tire is about 66", and I've got about 3 inches of flare and it's barely enough with some camber, rubbing in the front and rear, both just a touch. My car is a little odd, but 16x8 et 18 or 20, 205/50, but it's all customed e30m3 crap, so... my flares may vary. Even if I went to 16x7, et 35 or so (e36 wheel), what, that would pull about an inch from the outside? But who wants their car narrower? I'm going to go look at the flares... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, my measurements were taking into account 15x9 (assuming et0?). I purchased the eBay flares linked up higher and they were way too wide for the work I was willing to put in at the time. So I went with the 5cm flares instead. Here’s a pic with the wheels and tire but no flares yet. I think the back would almost clear with a good fender roll/pull. The front no way.

Ya, Clinched flares are really good quality compared to the eBay flares. They also come with hardware, I prefer rivits though. Make sure you get some clecos either way.

Gimme 40 acres to turn this rig around... Haven't heard from him yet. 195 on a 9, you like that dontcha'? :) I'm on 16x8, with a 205/50 right now. Was on 15x8. Pulled the power steering pump and currently running the e30m3 rack with no assist and an empty of fluid rack. I've got a z4 non M electric assist rack waiting to go in. It's supposed to have much more movement per input than the e30 rack, and somehow be easier to turn... Must be magic! But all my stuff is m3, with all of the angles maintained into the '02 chassis- Ralph did some amazing work- 10 degrees of caster and all, and made the center bolt of the control arms actually bolt through the subframe and into the chassis itself. It's so stiff. Might be part of why my car is 2500 lbs... And I'm not sure how much wider my suspension is than it used to be- however much wider the e30m3 is than the 2002... So for a stock-ish 2002, yeah, I bet it's a little crazy. Stantz is life, Toby! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
