no, those flares are 50mm. But I agree, they're too big in this case.

lionel, the gaurd could be pumped out to clear that without the need for a flare. I had done that to my car before I fitted the flares. I was running 205/60*13 on the front with Stanza struts. It didn't come out show-car straight, but it wasn't bad.
Open in new window


That would definitely be the cheapest option, but it may break the paint if there's filler in the gaurd.

There are smaller universal type flares available like converted has on his new race car. If you can find the photos of his new coupe I think he mentioned who sells them in Sydney.

other options are strut tops and look at the possibility of machining a few mm off the mounting surface of the wheel, if the tops don't quite get the wheel under. It will give quite a lot of negative camber for the road though, and the tops are not cheap. Or getting the struts bent - I'm not a huge fan of this and don't know where you'd get it done in Bris.
