I'm not affiliated with doubleblack offroad in any way. I'll be buying my flares the same as anyone else, I just did some work so everyone can see what covers what. Sorry if anyone thinks this is blatant marketing, that's not really my intention - it's not like TJ flares are hard to find, but at least there's a series of "like for like" photos for comparison.
The car is my 1.0 ute. It runs WT diffs.
The tyre/wheels details are as follows:
The GV rims are just that - GV rims, but they have been narrowed to 6.5" (this has had no effect on the overall width of the car on these wheels.) tyres are 9/34 16 swampers.
The Beadlocked rims are 2WD F100 rims flipped and offset. They are 5.5" rims before beadlocking, so they are effectively 6" rims now. They have about 2.25" of backspacing. Tyres are 9/34 16 swampers.
The alloy rims are 15X7. Not sure on offset but I'd reckon backspacing at about 3.5" (so 5P offset is likely) Tyres are AT 31 10.5's
The Q78's are on 15X7 rims, beadlocked for about 7.5" of overall rim width. Backspacing on these is about 3.5"
The calmini style flares are 5" in width.
The TJ flares are 7" in width.
Yes, my guards are a bit wonky. I tried to get them to fit as well as possible without too much work.
Here's the photos:
