Flares

What are Flares for Utes?

When you’re offroading regularly, you’ll soon realise that one of your pet peeves is debris smeared across the body of your truck after a long session.

You know what we’re talking about - ripping down gnarly roads with other cars can quickly turn into a pebble festival that ends up chipping your paint and damaging mirrors and glass parts of your vehicle and whoever’s driving near you. 

Fender flares are the best way to reduce the mess and keep your car’s body safer. These flares are typically made of plastic, fibreglass, or metal and are installed around the wheel arches of a vehicle to extend or enhance the vehicle's body lines. 

Flares for utes can help protect the vehicle's body from debris, mud, and rocks that the wheels could kick up while driving off-road or on rough terrain. In some jurisdictions, fender flares are required if the vehicle has aftermarket wheels or tires that extend beyond the vehicle's bodywork. The flares help ensure that the car remains within legal limits for the width and coverage of the tires.

Functions of Ute Flares

So what do fender flares really do? There's more than a couple of reasons we love chucking some flares on, and here are our top ones:

Covering Wheels

One of the significant benefits of ute flares is that they allow you to put on bigger tyres on your vehicles without getting into trouble. The flares protect the tops of your wheel contours to prevent damage around the wheel well. 

When the offset of the wheels is low, the flares compensate by hanging over the wheels and keep you from getting a hefty fine!

Enhancing Ute's Design & Style

Fender flares enhance the aesthetic value of your car without too much bodywork. Many flares give your vehicle an aggressive, rugged touch, which we know you'll love. 

Most of our styles come with a smooth or matte black finish straight out of the box. But you can also paint them in whatever colour you'd like to give that unique touch to your treads. 

Protecting Your Ute's Exterior & Interior

Fender flares do a great job of protecting your exterior and any other car driving next to you. They do this by catching stray rocks that are flicked up by offroad tyres.

In the wet season, flares reduce the amount of mud, rocks and dirt stuck in your wheel wells. It also does a decent job covering up rust near the wheels while giving it a shiny new look. 

Why Should You Use Flares on Your Ute?

We highly recommend getting flares if: 

• You’re an avid offroader that loves the mud.
• You’re looking for an effective addition to protect your wheel wells. 
• You’re looking to give your vehicle a more rugged aesthetic.
