I am thinking about purchasing Fender Flares to Open up the Wheel Wells for added tire clearance. Has anyone done this? If so do you have Pics, advice, info, brand Flares, etc? I want to open the wheel wells up by cutting back sheet metal and will need a flare that can accomidate this type of mod.
Thanks

 

No, I've never done it, but out of curiosity are you planning on making new wheel well liners to accommodate the modified fenders? Lots of electronics under the hood now a days that don't like getting wet. Your IDM (injector driver module) is tucked up above your drivers front wheel well liner, and if that gets wet it will no longer drive your injectors.

I've seen pictures, so I know it can be done, just something to keep in mind.

 

Yeah, I like fabrication....Its challenging and fun, The 35" are aleady rubbing in extreme articulation. Also have some damage around one wheel well that wont need fixing if i do the fender flares. Just fishing for ideas, pics, suggestions, etc.

I think that a few of the guys that hang out in the Superduty forum run the cutout flares. You could probably ask around in there.
