How much tire clearance does a 1.6" extension provide?

The 1.6" width extends the fender wall outward, which typically accommodates moderately wider wheel-and-tire combos. Measure your current tire sidewall and wheel offset, then compare against the 1.6" gain to confirm your specific setup will fit without rubbing.

Do these flares require drilling?

These flares mount via standard fastener points on the fender. Verify your vehicle's OEM mounting locations align with the universal holes before final installation. Some applications may need minor fitment adjustment or selective drilling depending on the mounting surface geometry.

What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand the surface thoroughly and clean off all dust before applying your chosen primer and paint system. Proper surface prep ensures long-lasting adhesion and finish quality.
