Verifying Fit - Flares should be held to the vehicle surface to verify correct type and fit BEFORE beginning installation or painting. Small fit adjustments can be made by trimming (filing, sanding or scraping) excess plastic.
Performance - Using larger tires may increase the area required to turn the vehicle. Some Tire/Rim combinations may require lowering bump stops and/or installing steering stops to prevent tire shoulders from contacting flare.
Exhaust System - Modifications may be necessary to maintain a minimum 4 inch clearance between flares and exhaust pipes. Exhaust gases should not vent directly onto flares.
