How much extra tire clearance do these flares provide?

RX-style flares extend the bodyline outward to accommodate slightly wider or lower-offset wheel setups. Verify your current tire and wheel dimensions against your fender opening before installation — flares work best when your setup is close to factory spec. If you're running significantly wider rubber, measure the gap between your current tire and fender to confirm fitment.

Do I need to drill or modify the fender to install these?

These flares use factory mounting locations on your existing fender structure. No drilling required — they bolt directly to OEM attachment points. Use your vehicle's service manual to locate fastener holes and refer to torque specifications for proper installation.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the surface thoroughly to ensure good adhesion for your topcoat. Clean off all dust before applying your chosen primer and paint. Proper surface prep is critical for a professional finish and long-term durability in sun and weather.
