Flappers on stockies

[taylooor]

Hey guys

Im pretty keen on getting some flappers for my VT interceptors.
Opinions?

Was looking at Instant White Walling but thought these flappers would be easier and cheaper with pretty much the same desired result.

How do you install them though if I was to buy them?

And would I need 15" flappers to fit my interceptors?

Cheers!

Not to mention the risk of voiding insurance/roadworthy etc by getting instant white walls as they grind away part of the tyre wall!

you will need to take it to a trye shop to get them to fit them.

its possible to do it yourself, but you need to know how to pop the bead of the tyre and re-seat it etc etc... but quicker for a tyre place to do it

Would they charge?

[Verynice]

yes, it takes a bit of time doing all 4, just call some places for quotes

Will u be getting them from antique tyres?

[IBLOWN]

They're just terrible. Those and bloody venetians...

flappers are heaps easier, i got a set but only have them on every now and then when i get sick of the 20s

these are the 15in x 3in, not really reccomended for tyres under 70 profile, mine are 205/65/15 and i have to have the tyres at 40psi so the flappers dont crinkle at the bottom, they come in 15x1.5in aswell

Where's antique tyres man?
I was just looking at some on ebay

That looks sick Walesy!
#### the haters haha, i've got 19's but wanted something different
Did you paint your 'ceptors a glossy black as well?

[walesy]

i was lucky enough to have glossy stockies laying around already so i havnt touched them, i got a set of 15x7 pursuities aswell that are going black with some ET Streets on them ;-)

Chev badges on vn's ? Thats what there like to me....

Also, it appears that I have radial tyres.

And i've heard that these aren't ideal if you're getting flappers?

Anyone care to elaborate?

[ucwepn]

All modern tyres are radials, shouldn't matter. I don't mind the flappers are they a pain to keep clean?

Yeah that's what I thought.

But I read on another thread that its risky as a radial tyre is tubeless and its much easier to get a flat when you put the flapper in.
Hope that's not the case haha.

I'd say they would be a bitch to keep clean, not to mention if you just nicked a gutter then they'd get marked so easy.

[walesy]

radials are fine, as they are the modern day tyre... hell if anyone know where i can get tyres without radials id love to know (burnout purposes)
