Fender Flares
Fender Flares Built for Real-World Aussie Touring
A decent set of fender flares serve a far greater purpose than just looking good. If you spend any amount of time off the bitumen, you already know how quickly mud, stones and road grime can chew up your paintwork. Thatβs where quality fender flares come in. They give your 4WD the extra tyre coverage it needs to stay legal, protect your guards from damage, and add that tough, confident stance most factory setups just donβt have.

Why Fender Flares Matter
Every 4WD copes with different terrain, and most of us are running wheels and tyres that are well beyond stock. Fender flares help you keep things compliant by covering exposed tread, stopping debris from flicking onto your paint or the vehicle behind you.
Itβs not just about looks (even though they absolutely lift the whole rig). Itβs about keeping your panels cleaner on muddy tracks, avoiding chips from outback gravel, and staying within road rules when youβre running wider rubber.
Choosing the Right Fender Flares for Your Rig
Thereβs no one-size-fits-all answer and your choice depends on how you drive and the look youβre chasing.
OE-style fender flares are perfect if you want a clean, factory-style profile with a little more tyre coverage.
Pocket- and bolt-on style fender flares give that rugged, aggressive stance you see on lifted tourers and American trucks. Theyβre great for wider offsets and chunky tyres.
Forge-style and premium moulded fender flares suit modern utes and full-size rigs where you want seamless fitment and tough materials designed to handle Aussie heat.
Features That Matter in the Real World
Most of the brands we stock use ABS plastic or UV-stable materials that wonβt warp or crack in harsh sun. Good fender flares also follow your factory body lines properly β no gaps, no flex, no rattling.
If your setup sees plenty of corrugations, deep mud or coastal air, look for flares that come with solid mounting hardware and proper seals to help keep grit and moisture out.
Fitment and Compliance
As long as your tyres are within the flareβs coverage and your vehicle is otherwise legal, youβre generally good to go. Every product page includes detailed notes to help you confirm fitment for your exact model β and if youβre running a lift or aftermarket bumper, double-check your mounting points before ordering.

Fender Flares FAQs
Do fender flares actually protect my paintwork?
Yes. Fender flares help shield your guards and doors from stones, mud and road debris that would otherwise chip your paint or sandblast the lower panels β especially on gravel roads and muddy tracks.
Are fender flares legal in Australia?
Fender flares are generally legal and often necessary, as most states require the tyre tread to be covered when viewed from above. If youβre running wider wheels or aggressive offsets, flares are one of the easiest ways to stay within the rules.
Can I install fender flares myself, or do I need a professional?
Most fender flares in this range can be installed at home with basic tools and a bit of patience. Some kits use factory mounting points, while others may require minor drilling. If youβre not confident drilling into guards or lining everything up, a panel shop or 4x4 accessories fitter can do it for you.
Will these fender flares work with my bull bar, sidesteps or snorkel?
It depends on your specific combination of accessories. Many flares are designed to work with popular bull bars and snorkels, but some trimming or adjustment may be needed. Check the fitment notes on each product page and reach out to us if your setup is a bit unique.
What are the fender flares made from?
Most of our fender flares are made from tough ABS plastic or similar UV-resistant polymers. Theyβre designed to handle harsh Aussie sun, heat and corrugations without warping or going brittle.
Do fender flares come painted or colour coded?
Many kits come in a textured or smooth black finish that looks great as-is. Some owners choose to have them professionally painted or colour coded to match their vehicle. If thatβs the look youβre chasing, your local paint or panel shop can prep and spray them.
Can I use fender flares with wider or aftermarket tyres?
Absolutely β thatβs one of the main reasons people fit them. Just make sure the flare width suits your wheels and tyres so the tread is properly covered. If youβre unsure, measure your poke (how far the tyre sticks out) and compare it to the flare specs.
Are replacement pieces or hardware available if I damage a flare?
In many cases, yes. A lot of brands offer replacement sections and mounting hardware, so you donβt have to replace the entire kit if one piece gets damaged. If youβve had a run-in with a tight track or car park pole, get in touch and weβll see what can be sourced for your specific kit.
