  • Fender flares

    Anyone ever done fender flares on a festiva?? I'm about to do some 2" flares on the front and 3.5" flares on the rear and have never seen any other to compare to

      I've been trying to find some fender flares for my Fiesta as well but all the ones on ebay seem to be too wide for 13 inch wheels with tiny tires. Like, they wouldn't look right with too much gap on the left and right.

      These seem to be the smallest ones I can find with 21 inches between the arches, the others are all 23-25.


      If anybody is aware of any others I'd like to see em.

        My other toy car is a porsche 914. People commonly use rabit flares on them. Maybe it would work here as well

          If you have narrow wheels and tires and stock ride height, flares aren't necessary and would look rather funny. You need wider wheels and tires with the right offset and stance to make flares look good.

            They aren't stock wheels, they are poking out a bit, lowered a bit too.

            I'm thinking those 3 inch flares might be too big, the wheel only pokes out 2 inches, might have to use spacers to make it flush, but then that might look goofy sticking out a full 3 inches lol.

              The right flares would look really good on your car. That's a sharp Festy.

                    Did that once at autozone when ordering parts too, it got confusing.
