Fenders

[Gizzard Stone]

I found some fenders i might use for my project. Check them out:

Should fit a 265/75r16 tire.

Anyone have experience with them?

that's what i used on my trailer that is running 275/65r18 i did have to do a little bending to spread the bottom length out a few more inches to get more coverage but they worked fine im actually switching to 265/75r16 pretty soon which are about a half an inch smaller than my current tires in diameter. i did buy mine on ebay though, but same dimensions.

I used similar fenders on my trailer along with 245/75R/16 tires. The original fit of the bottom length was tight so I split mine at the top corners by using a 4.5" grinder with a thin cutting disc. I cut 2 slits at each corner, spread them to the length I wanted and then welded them back together. It was quite easy to get the clearance I wanted.

Hopefully these pictures will help to explain what I did ...

... original bad fit.

... original fender on the right and spread to the desired length on the left. Note the 2 slits in each top corner.

... slits welded up.

... final fit and painted.

Cool! Thanks for posting that. I might have to do something similar.

Is there a build thread for your trailer?

Thanks Mike. That would be my "unfinished" trailer (lol). I've made progress and am due for an update ... just too many other projects getting in the way!
