Reply to "Group 4 Steel Flare Help Requested"

samcMember

The picture at the factory is a wire form used to get the flares to fit properly around the wheel but they also serve another purpose.The flares have to look the same from driver to passenger side.The idea of the wire form is so that you continue to shape the steel until it fits perfectly on top of the form.An English wheel is not for the novice metalshaper because it will quickly shape the metal and if you have limited experience you will end up with a over stretched piece that will never fit.If you want to tackle a flare I would suggest purchasing or making a leather bag filled with sand and some hardwood mallets.The fiberglass version has much more shape and thats why you are having problems with tire clearance,maybe purchasing a fiberglass set fitting those to the car then using that as a form would be an option
