Fender flare fitment? - Infamous Nissan

Slimbob467 · 04-20-2019, 04:24 PM

I remember reading somewhere that 4x4 flares wouldn’t fit on 2wd fenders without some modifications. I’ve got a 2wd truck I've been wanting to put factory flares on and was wondering. Guy wouldn’t let me test fit them and I don’t wanna waste the money on something that won’t fit.

I’m sure somebody who knows for sure will speak up. I would think that they would not fit because the 4 x 4 fenders have a bulge to them. I would not think that they would lay right on a 2 wheel drive fender.
You can however do like I did and put 4 x 4’s fenders on my 2 Wheel Drive truck.I think they just make the truck Look beefier

They will fit with trimming and adjusting start at rear of fender and work forward

Thanks for the replies. Do you happen to know how much trimming it takes? I wouldn’t wanna get them and try it and end up destroyed the fronts.
