Doug, I would have to agree with you ...from the measurements we have gathered here from 4 cars its appears the flairs have a very similar distance ...lets say from the face of the wheel flange. The wheels & tires are different which gives us all different results and some exactly the same. If I may comment though one feature I struggled with was the fitment of the 3 peice steel flair in an arc and around and down both sides ... unless the cars are that different ... this is also an issue not mentioned but definitely a struggle to get premium results.
Your right good post .. sad but happy to see that I can compare notes with Dave to see if we can sort this out.
Also happy to see Wills sorted his out with less effort and premium results ... also happy to see Joules sent his back ... I wish I didnt cut my car yet because mine would have been also.

I'm thinking that this post should get a "sticky" by George. The information posted here is priceless really if someone else is going to attempt this.
I'm honestly wondering how many cars are out there that have been abandoned and never finished?
As far as why the flares are such an SOB on the compound curves, maybe the issue is with the mule they were made from. Traditionally there is something wrong with them, like they were in a wreck, or something else drastic?
Even if everyone had waited to get the flares mounted and finalized before they got wheels and tires, how would you know what to get? It isn't exactly like trying on shoes.
This is a really expensive project to screw up on. There is nothing that is inexpensive about it at all
