I'm getting ready to paint my 69, just about to start with the primer. I have been thinking about putting fender flares on the front and replacing the back ones since one has been smashed and redone poorly. The back flares are a 3'' right now. But i can't find anyone that sells the 3'' flares anymore, all i can find are the 4'' flares. My car has 10'' wide tires in the rear but with the tire mounted, it measures about 12'' across if you include the sidewalls. They stick out about 1 inch from the fender (want to eliminate this). If i go to a 4'' flare the tire will probably hide under the fender too much and it may look weird. So if i go to a 4'' flare will i need to get 12'' rims? I would be fine with that, but will the 12 inchers fit under the flare nicely? I wouldn't have to do any modifications to the trailing arms or brakes etc would I?
Any idea how much offset i would need?
Also anyone know who sells/makes good flares? I found them through ACI but they want $748 for the set (4) Is this a typical price?
