Nope. Maybe like some others said maybe and inch or so of flare.

I can probably make some custom flares for you through my fabricator. As far as this example goes, it's just waaaay out there.

I do agree that a subtler version may look hot on our cars, though.

Why go for sissy flares when you can go full wide-body baby!

Vanderkitten · 08-27-2007, 04:07 AM

I like the idea of the wider fenders because there is a return on a wider stance in handling. Those are not contoured enough for my taste, and the examples above are too notchy or blockey. I think emulating the Mini Cooper would be a good direction where the flares start higher on the body.

I saw a UK site that was using flares from an Escort or something to start with. The UPSIDE to the 2-door is that you have much more room to work with to make the rear smooth and nice!

I was thinking about flaring mine a couple of inches this winter or something. You can also just roll the fenders to get a little more wheel clearance and lose the plastic in the front.

I think these from the Teme Prototype site would nice

but if those do not fit because they are too big I would go with these

Exactly! I've been eye-balling the Mini's flares for some time now.

If you took it to a good body shop and where willing to open up the wheel wells (any rim deep enough to fill that, or spacer combo would require trimming to be able to turn up front due the the greater sweep) one of the less extreme example might work and look cool. Otherwise I would wait for a full body kit so that the bumpers and steps could be integrated. Even though its blocky, I'd be stoked to run the RTN car up there: 245's here I come!!!

kurokoma-kun · 08-27-2007, 12:46 PM

The second (rounded) ones are better.

So what are your wide-ass wheel plans redduck?

redduck · 08-27-2007, 12:58 PM

I like the look of the second wide body kit, anyone know where i can get that?
these are the wheels I want or at least something similar.

seanele · 08-27-2007, 03:01 PM

no...i think the Yaris is wide enough for me.
if i want my Yaris look more wider..i just go with the spacer.

well..speaking of spacer, i'm shopping for a set of 10mm for my rear.

Try Ichiban 10mm hubcentric spacers with longer studs.

well when you run a wide body you are going to run spacers/adapters or crazy offset wheels to push them out to the new flares

AFAIK it's only availabe here in Thailand. Given that it's not just a bolt-on (the front L/R guards have to be modded to fit the Toyota Wish headlights) I doubt there's too many shops that'll be doing it..

L/R guards?

Razr · 08-31-2007, 05:17 AM

Left and Right guards, i.e. the panels over the front wheels.

yarisugi · 11-12-2008, 01:08 PM

Sorry for bringing up an old thread. I'm looking for some mild fender flare options, too.
What do you think about older Datsun 240z or Toyota Corolla AE86 flares?
