I recommend the Syncro 16 wheel arches over the Tri-Star - they just fit
better if you are running larger tires.  The Tri-Star arches will actually
make your openings smaller.  Minor trimming in the rear is required for the
Syncro 16 arches.  I sell these for $500 USD for the set.  They are not
cheap, but they are very nice!

Subject: tri-star fender flares------looking for pictures of these on
Vana gons.....anybody seen these?

Hello fellow Vanagonites,

I am looking for pictures of the cool fender flares...the tri-star
type......I have the SVX motor going into my 85' Westy,
and I was able to utilize the factory 16 X 7.5 jj alloys from the
SVX.....the wheel height is the same as the MXT's
which I will be selling......there is less than 5K on the tires......
Anyway I wanted to see some photos of Vanagons with the cool wheel
flares............the SVX wheels have a 55 mm offset, but  with
the adaptors they fit perfectly under the wheel arches........And I just had
to take the front wheels to my vertical mill to open the center hub area and
created a new lip for the stock center caps........looks totally
original........
