How much tire clearance do these flares add?

Manta-style flares are designed to accommodate moderately wider tires and wheels without significant modification. Before purchase, compare your current tire width and wheel offset against your target setup to confirm fitment. Check clearance at full compression and during turns.

Do I need to drill holes or modify my fenders to install these?

Installation method depends on your vehicle's original fender structure and available mounting points. Verify your factory attachment points before assembly. Some builders use fastener-based mounting; others integrate with existing hardware. Consult your service manual for OEM fastener locations.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand and prep the surface to your chosen finish standard. Clean thoroughly to remove dust and contaminants. Apply your selected paint system—polyurethane, enamel, or single-stage—following the paint manufacturer's cure times and temperature recommendations.
