DIY fender flares question . . .

[TorontoKhan]

Hmm, I personally found tire mobility kit to be much convenient then having a spare tire. Tho I would like to carry spare on those long drives and I have a 5 seater so no problems there either. But for now, got Run Flats, and thinking about getting Conti DWS but can't find the front ones (275/40/20).

Did you find any extended wheel flares in Toronto? I'm getting some 19" M rims staggered and I'm not sure if I can get away with the basic ones I have, so I maybe in the hunt for some as well.

Thank you sir, message sent.

No, not in Toronto, had to import them from U.S. Only dealers had them and they sell them for the price of an arm and a leg.

i just put on the stock fender flares on my E70 last week. took me maybe 15 minutes tops to do all 4. i used a small thin screw driver (to use as a center punch), a random spare 1" screw that i found (to screw into the rivet and pull it out), a needle nose plyer (only used twice on a couple stubborn rivets in the front), and the Marsen Klik plastic rivet setter (i bought it for about $15.00 online). the task was cake. to use the rivet setter on the front wheels, just turn the wheel all the way left/right and BOOM you have enough clearance.

I have a set of flared fender flares brand new (still in the box) if anyone is interested. I was going to install (replace some scratched ones), but then sold the X5.

Anyone knows the extened flared arch we are talking about is the same size as the X5M and M sports painted version?

For some reason, the painted version always looks wider to me.

No, the X5M and M kit flares integrate into the flared bumper. These just taper down towards the bumper

I see what you mean. But in terms of thickness the M sports version looks wider to me.

Would tossing some FF's on with the 19" wheels look weird?

I'm selling my fender flairs if someone's looking for set.
