The wheel arch extension kit gives the Ranger a much wider, more aggressive stance and allows you to fit a much larger tyre than standard. Made from a high quality durable ABS plastic the arches have a nice smooth finish and are painted to the Ranger Wildtrak grey colour.
The Wildtrak grey looks great on any Ranger even if your vehicle is not the Wildtrak spec but you can if required repaint to match the vehicle colour. Installation is simple and drilling is optional.
The arches use pre-existing holes on the Ranger where supplied self tapping screws fix the arch to the vehicle. You then have the option if you feel you require additional mounting points to drill additional holes into the vehicle but we felt these were not required.
A double sided automotive grade adhesive tape is then used to provide and additional bond to the vehicle making the arches a really snug and strong fitment. We used a Ranger Wildtrak with the wheel arch kit then added the 16x8 Black Modular Rims and a 265/75/16 BF Goodrich all terrain tyre.
Even though the vehicle looks much higher we have not used a lift kit its all down to the larger wheels we were able to fit. From floor to sill it added approximatley 1 1/2" / 38mm with the 265/75/16 tyres!
Please note that with the larger 70mm wheel arches the original mud flaps cannot be re-fitted. If you wish to retain your mud flaps please see our listing for the type 2 55mm wheel arch kit.
