Flares and rims advice.

[z181200]

Hey dont have a 4WD but im after some 4wd flares to fit a 1985 b200 mazda ute. Im Going to put some wide rims on it and need to put some flares on to keep it legal.

Im after something about 2 inches wide. I tried some bolt on flares that you see on old toyotas etc but the guard is the wrong shape,its more rectangular than round. Iv seen some range rover ones on trademe that look ideal but wondering if you guys have any other suggestions. Iv seen the rubber strips that you bolton but dont think they will look right fo my application.

Also im after a pair of 15 by 8 and pair of 15 by 10 black 4wd steels. Wondering if you guys know where I can get them cheap or 2nd hand in im CHCH. The desert rats I think they are called?

Any advice would be appreciated

Andy.

Iv found some other wheels that fit nicely without the need for flares. Cheers though.

Im at the other end of the scale I want to lower my truck not raise it haha!

If you are one of these minitruckers then bolt on guards wont help you a jot anyway since your wheels have to be skinny enough to fit up inside the guard (so wont be protruding from the guard.... so wont need a flare)

If ur not there already sign up to minitruckin.co.nz

No I dont have one of those horrible mini trucks that look like bricks sitting on the ground. Its an old ute with a nice wooden deck and wide wheels.
