Default Wheel arch extensions needed!

Guys!

I need a kit of wheel arch extensions. Found a very nice one at MM-4x4.com but the shipping is too expensive because it must be shipped overseas.

Do anyone of you know there to find the extensions in USA?

Thanks!!

I have never seen any offered here in the States.
What size tire and lift are you working with?

I will put 33 inches insa turbo special track tires on the car and also will add 3 inches with a suspension kit.
The size of the tire is this: 285 75 16

Right now I have a D1 3.9 but I am going to change it for a 200 tdi 93. I have already found the new vehicle, just need to fix the price...

Don't know where to point you for the arches. What are you going to do with the diff when using that tire size, your axles and spiders gears won't take them for long?

Well... the next step will be to install lockers... Will request lockers with different ratio. That will fix the wheel issues.

Axles... well... well.... let`s see what happens!

Hey!!

That is exactly what I am looking for! A little expensive, but at least there is a source in this side!

Thanks!

I believe you have 12 spline axles and will need not only 24 spline but most lockers recommend H.D. axles to prevent damage.
