Covering Wide Tyres

[Boosted_162]

Hey guys.

Just picked up myself a new daily from a mate, another *cough*Nissan*cough*.

Its a D21 Terranosaurus thats on 15x7 wheels and 31" all terrains iirc. Problem being that not having the factory flares or anything the wheels stick out.



I had planned to get some rubber strips and basically just attach it to the inner guard so it sticks out and covers them - is this legal? The truck is a bit rough so dont wanna get fibreglass ones or anything.

Cheers

Yep, can be rubber flares. I think its a stupid tulr, you can make them out of paper aslong as it covers the tread... so why bother with anything?

Awesome, anyone know the best place to get said rubber?

I would of imagined it would at least need to stop flying debris off the tyres?!

you have to have them covered because it will aparently flick up stones etc at oncoming cars and kill babies

Obviously they have never met the auto TD27, i dont think it can go fast enough to do that

Plenty of 4wd guys use rubber garden edging from Bunnings it works just as well as the moulded expensive stuff.

Sorry for possibly silly question, but why not buy the flares from one being parted out?

Looks stock / not rangi, less farting about trying to attach bits onto something that isn't meant to be in it... just a thought

editJust realised with the bigger wheels they may not fit - guard rub FTL?

Exactly, Tek screw or pop rivet to the lip under the guards, job done.

Conveyor belt rubber works well too holds its he shape well if you rub them up against a tree or hard object off road.
