7.5 inch wide rims are also illegal on a teg....

i dont rekn it will look good unless it is done right! plus with that width i would consider putting thinner tyres to give it the "undertyred" look, drifter style hehe

my mate has 17x9's on the back of his toyota sprinter and it has 215/45/17 tyres, it has the "undertyred" look :)...looks hto i rekn but i duno if it would suit a FWD teggy...then i also think u will have issues with ur turning circle at the front...

what about the off-set? will they rub on the inner guard? And will they clear your strut towers? How about your turning circle?

Many factors to consider, not just your guards :)

Nah dun flare it
I've seen a twin turbo vti-r at Fussy's Performance who has flared guard and it's not pleasing to the eye

yeah those vents on the rear panel flares wont be doing much besides "show". doesnt exactly look that pleasing either imo.

Saw a DC5 in the city with flares. Not widebody like that one... Flares are subtle yet ultra tough IMO.

17"s with stretched tyres, flared guards (cut and rewelded so that there is actually more room inside the guards, not just tacked onto the outside) would look wicked. But it might upset some of the sheep and others who dont like to stand out from the crowd...

done right wide body i reckon would look good like you say..
but in the example i think they went a little too far IMO

Flares does not equal widebody.

Widebody = That blue Teg

Yes, i knew that would offend some people. Its called camber and yes its intentional (its VIP style if you didnt know).
The point of the picture was to show what flares are, as opposed to the widebody that is on that Integra.
