lol this is in no way ment to be a racist commet; just an observation. the only people that have the super wide tires that stick out way past the body are eiter uber rednecks or mexicans. I dont understand what the facination is. I do think that the flares look alright just a little lony on the backs of them making them look to much like something out of the '30s or '40s. I think if you made the lines on them a bit more agressive and blocked off they might look a bit better. An bumpers would probably help a lot/

I was going to respond with a picture of my F250 with 39's on 16x12 wheels, but I'm too redneck to figure how to load a photo. Are there any mexicans in wisconsin? I imagine there are a lot of rednecks though...

please don't judge us all ... I've got a 94 SS S10 lowered 5/6

also there are many races and nationalities in WI ... we have a large hispanic population in Green Bay and Hmongs are numerous throughout WI (and MN as well) I'n not sure how to classify myself though ... maybe a redhipstoneican.

Iceland does the wide flares to cover really wide tires that are necessary to stay on top of the ice/snow on their offroad treks - it not really a style issue - it's an offroad adaptation.
There have been magazine articles covering them.

(including some really weird vehicles)

Some countries have very strict laws about tires not sticking out past the fenders, this could also be the case in Iceland.

Never thought I would read the kind of crap I am reading in a thread about flares. :roll:

The most rediculous part is that in Iceland that is the norm for those that run their vehicles on the ice and snow. Get to know what you are talking about before spouting out remarks about people.

Nobody wants to be "racist" yet I read these generalizations in this thread because some tires stick out of the wheel wells!?! Perhaps You, the authors of your comments, won't take it wrong but to someone from Mexico or of Spanish ancestry these post certainly could look bad.

I really think you all need to read your posts out loud to yourself before hitting the submit button and think how it might read to someone else.

We have people from all over the world on this forum and from all races, religions, walks of life and if you are going to post here you need to keep that in mind.

These types of posts will not be tolerated.
Thanks.

DarbyWalters adding a tidbit...I am from Iceland (Island) and it is the norm to run as big a tire (balloons) as you can to stay on top of the ice and snow. Suspension travel is not a big deal...flotation is...you can see my "IS" decal on the back window.

Some of you need to think before you type and look ignorant :wink:
