How much tire clearance does the Novara style add?

The wide-body extension provides additional wheel opening space compared to OEM fender lines. Measure your current tire and wheel setup, then verify clearance against the installed flare profile before finalizing fitment.

Do I need to drill or modify the body to install these flares?

Installation method depends on your chosen mounting approach. Review your vehicle's existing body line and fastener locations, then reference the service manual for recommended attachment points and fastener specifications.

What's the best way to prep and paint these before installation?

Sand and prep the surface according to your chosen paint system's requirements. Once finished, the flares are ready to bolt on. Coordinate paint timing with your installation schedule to protect the fresh finish.
