what do you think?

I've been toying around with this idea for a while just want some outside input. I love the fiberglass pre-runner flared fenders and have been debating about getting some of theem for my ranger. I have never seen them put on a lowrider before and think it might look pretty cool. What do you think?

Try a photoshop first.....those fenders are usually cut higher than normal fenders, for wheel travel, i'd be concerned with "filling" the fender with enough tire...height wise. I think spacing the wheels out to match the fender width would look cool though!

Thats one of the reasons I was considering this I want to go to a bigger rim and tire set up but dont have the fender clearance without tubbing the truck up front I thought maybe with these I could get outset rims and actualy have enough clearance. Hopefully

You can get wheels that have minimum backspace of 2 1/8 inch, which is a full reverse, in either 6 inch wide or 7 inch wide. However, I have only been able to find them available as a steel wheel sold at Wheel Vintiques.
A year ago I found one shop, catering to the Latino lowriders, who would take an aluminum wheel, cut out the center, and reweld it in place for you minimum backspace. There are no manufacturers of alloy wheels that offer that offset. The 2 1/8 figure pushes the wheel out a good amount if that is what you need/want. Mine have that spacing.

Well I might have to rethink this it sounds like.
