I recommend the Syncro 16 wheel arches over the Tri-Star - they just fit better if you are running larger tires. The Tri-Star arches will actually make your openings smaller. Minor trimming in the rear is required for the Syncro 16 arches. I sell these for $500 USD for the set. They are not cheap, but they are very nice!

Hello fellow Vanagonites, I am looking for pictures of the cool fender flares...the tri-star type......I have the SVX motor going into my 85' Westy, and I was able to utilize the factory 16 X 7.5 jj alloys from the SVX.....the wheel height is the same as the MXT's which I will be selling......there is less than 5K on the tires...... Anyway I wanted to see some photos of Vanagons with the cool wheel flares............the SVX wheels have a 55 mm offset, but with the adaptors they fit perfectly under the wheel arches........And I just had to take the front wheels to my vertical mill to open the center hub area and created a new lip for the stock center caps........looks totally original........ |
