How much tire clearance does a 50mm flare add?

The 50mm extension provides modest wheel well coverage without forcing a tire size or offset change on most builds. Verify your current wheel offset and tire sidewall against the new flare profile before installation — a simple mockup with the flares temporarily positioned shows exact clearance in your setup.

Will these flares require drilling into the body?

Mounting method depends on your chosen fastening approach — review your vehicle's factory fender attachment points and compare them to the flare bolt holes before finalizing your installation plan. Most builds use existing body holes or self-tapping fasteners into the fender structure.

What prep is needed before painting these flares?

Sand and prep the primer surface with appropriate abrasive before applying your chosen color coat and clear. FRP accepts standard automotive finishes once the factory primer is scuffed and cleaned — no special sealers or primers are required beyond normal panel prep.
