Thanks, the tires are 375/60R18's Baja Claws, the lift is 8 1/2" Alcan Leafs. The Flares she had where fiberglass sheet with many coats of resin and kitty hair that molded the sheet to the body. My dad had them done back in the late 80's, they held up really well until I started wheeling her several years ago. I spoke with my dad after I realized how much Bondo was on the sheet metal, he told me that he had a shop do the work back in the late 80's and specified that he didn't want globs of filler. We now know that they didn't get the memo
