20200707_143404.jpgI. I know that this subject can be tricky between original and aftermarket...I thought I measured well, but the skirts don't quite fit. 8" wide wheels, 0 offset, 225/50/18 tires. Fronts are great and I have 1.5" spacers to push them out a touch more... the rears are so close to fitting skirts... I'm going to attempt to trim a skirt and see if it fits.

Any advise?

Ps... I think the machined lip kind of looks like white walls. Lol
 
Hi looks great! I've just 'trimmed' the edge off my skirts for the same reason. What I also found is the latch bar needed to be reduced in length and modded with a new lip for it to grip onto. Last-minute mod as it was just about to be dragged onto a trailer heading for the paint shop! Hoped they would fold the lip for me but they didn't so I carefully had too when it returned.
