AIR Design Fenders Flares with width measurements

[Jr87mustang]

These are the same flares that Maxlider uses for thier studded flares. I really like them, just wish they would make a pair with the standard poke instead of the extra 1.5".

Nice!!! Looks you all had a good day...

Are you running 35" with an offset? If not, what size spacer are you using? Thx...

Nice rig...are those Next Venture or DV8 sliders? How do you like them?

They are Next Venture, and I love them. They add protection, a step that I can access the full roof rack (pretty much) very strong. Used them on a few rocks

I'm in the hunt for either SAS flares or something like these to cover my 4.5" poke. Are these flares as sturdy as oem?

Good looking 2 door!!!

Yeah, real sturdy, they have brackets that bolt underneath them, I installed as per instructions, but I have see people online who didn't use the bolt on brackets, they mounts like the factory ones.

Very nice! Pricey, but the best of the lot IMO. And you can throw on the UHMW too. You're ready to hit some serious bits! Cheers.

I was possibly GOBI rack order #1 and it sits in my garage until Bronco arrives. I’m very excited

I got in the first batch too (free ladder), I like it alot, I drove from West Virginia to Colorado and had them install, made a nice road trip out of it. Had it install 09/27

One more ? The flat brim that is covering the fender lip, is there anything behind it to prohibit rubbing the clear coat? Like a rubber seal or thin layer of foam? I've had bushwackers on my 5th gen Bronco's and where it laid against the fender it would rub the clear coat down to the paint when I would take off to clean grim in between.

There is a small layer of foam (I believe), I have PPF installed, so it covers that area as well for that protection.

Thanks for the insight!

Do you have any video of your installation of the air design flares? I can't find anything on youtube. And I second the request of front and rear flush pictures to show the poke/flush with your wheels/tires with 0 offset. Thanks

I didn't have a video, but just watched this one:

Have you considered and researched mudflaps that will work with these flaps? The Bronco design is bad for getting mud all over the side. I’ve researched mudflaps to death but always for use on SAS, so curious if they might not work due to the outer curved design of these flares.

I have thought about them, and look into them some, but haven't dove into it too deep yet.
