Anything is possible, just depends on whether or not you're willing to spend the bucks. What ever we do will be some sort of compromise, but I would like to replicate the Pantera look as much as possible. Remember, this is still on a Fiero hub, but I would like to move into a 16 or 17 inch wheel. Fronts will be somewhere in the 7 to 8" arena, rear will probably be 9 to 11" wide. Thanks for the input, the search goes on.

opm2000, Would you be willing to produce wide fender flares for the Fiero? I'm looking everywhere for a good shape that can be used in the Fiero and is affordable! Thanks!
James.

Beast,
Sure, that would be a fun project. There are a couple of widebody kits out there, but I don't know, there may not be a simple "flare" kit. I think Chester did a bit of custom work in this department recently, and I'll see if I can get a look at the Dirty Rat, to get some ideas. It would be best if we knew a wheel and tire size that you wanted to use with the flares. That way we could bring them into the correct size and shape to start with, as opposed to building a flare and then figuring out what w/t combination fits. I'll wait untill warmer spring weather arrives, before starting on something like this. It's interesting how both the Fiero and the Pantera designs just beg for customization, and share design aspects. This pic was sent to me by a Fiero/Pantera owner in Sweden. It shows a Pantera front air dam which was modified to fit his Fiero. Looks right at home to me. BTW, this is a fairly good representation of the front air dam we're working on right now.

David, I'm up for it, the wheels will be between 17 or 18 or even 19 (inches that is).
It all really depends in what is available for a good price, offset, width etc. To give you an idea: Regardless the (17-18-19 diameter) they all will average in the front about 25 inches and 26.5 in the back, by using the proper tire wheel combination. The front and rear width will remain about the same, regardless of their sizes as well.
With the front being between 7 - 8.5 inches
And the back about 9 -10 inches.
The offsets will be between 40-50 in the front, and between 30-40 in the back That will give me an average of about 1-1.5 inches sticking out of the front fenders
And more or less about 2-2.5 inches in the back! Thanks!
James.

In other words David,
Could we say, lets make them to be about 1.5 in the front
And 2.5 in the back? I'm sure that there is about couple dozen of fellows in this forum at any given day and time, that are up to the deal! Thanks again.
James.

You weren't just teasing about the pics of the flared front end, were you ?
