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

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
