Fender flares
I'm beginning to start thinking about flaring out the fenders on my 77 so I can fit some bigger wheels, and I'm wondering what other peoples' experiences were. Also I wanna see if anyone has some recommendations for a shop near me in east-central IL that could do it.
How big did you go with your flares and what size tires are you running? Any insight will be helpful.

I bought 3 different sets from different vendors to compare what would work the best. One set was just junk without tabs for screwing it in place after I had cut out the wheel wells. I went with the so called semi mud flaps. for my 345 rear tires on 13 inch width wheels.
These are Kumho ultra performance tires and central rain grooves actually really work even with rain so hard that it is running across the road.
