For those with 20" wheels regarding flares

[crazy4cars]

I will like to know if only the rear fender flare is wider than the stock one, I need to make sure if the front one is wider as well.

tks

Look very closely at the second picture below, and you will notice the slight "flare" to the fronts as well. Then look at the first picture, and notice that neither the front or the back wheel arches have any flair at all.

just for clarity... does the 3.0si w/stock 18inch have any flares?? will they look good if I swap the wheels for 20s???

will upgrading to 19s at the dealer give me the flares needed for the 20s??

or can I just pick up the flare kit separately?

Only the 4.8 comes with the flares, and that's only if you order the 20" wheels in addition to the sport package. For a 3.0, the only way to get the flares, is after the fact.

Any idea what the flare kit costs? I checked Circle BMW website but couldn't find them.
I ordered the sport package but opted for the 19"s but I will say the subtle flare adds a nice touch.

Thanks - Do you know if they clip over the standard arches or replace them?
