should i take off my fender flares all around? my front passenger flare does not match up to the bracket correctly and the new bigger tires i jus bought would have more space and i was wondering if it mattered if i took them all off? any opinions?
thanks
thanks
I ripped mine off, it was one of the first things I did. I had to take one of the rear bumper end caps off to get to the last bolt on the tail light cover, well it came off broken...so it took all the caps off, then took the fender flares off so everything would match. lol.

make sure its legal if you gonna take them off. that the tire doesnt stick to far out past where you flares would be. i wanna take mine off but im pretty sure itd be illigal for my tires would stick to far out without my flares

Yup, 10mm nuts on the inside of the fender. In the front you might have to pull back the rubber fender liner crap, to be able to get at them. Then just start removing the bolts (or breaking them, it's a toss-up which one happens).
I took mine off, painted them, then put them back on. The wife likes it with them on, but I want to pull em again and cut. Guess I will have to catch her out of town one weekend and go to it
