Pull is pulling the inside, but you can only go so far.
Flare is where you grossly deform your fender to look absolutely disfigured...
..Just kidding; Flare is curving the fender out just a bit. I said the earlier because it's rather true. Flaring is difficult to do without rippling the metal because of the angle you are changing the metal too. Typically the best thing to do is make the wheels fit then have a body shop through on some bondo to smooth things out and do a quick respray on that area. When I get my kit painted/fitted, that's the plan. Still hoping for sevenstock
I don't know if those are technical terms but it's what my friends and I use, so it works well enough 
Here's a pretty close look at my fenders at one stage; at the time I was fitting 10.5 +15 w/245/40 without rubbing - this is maximum compression and there was a slight squeal from the tire rubbing on the inside of the fender; I never encountered this in actual driving conditions though. As you can see, the fender curves out if you look carefully. If you recall "that one time" at dozers I complained about the wrinkles. With some careful work with a roller they became less apparent since then and I certainly look forward to getting the smoothed out!

I am going to try and convince Jovi to sell me his since is thinking of getting a new set of wheels for the evox and we just put the SSr's back on the evo9
good thing is they have Invo's on them which are not too beefy so it might be easier not to rub

In other news, **** school, just missed out on a well paying wheel/car photography job due to classes >:O
Hi Matthew,
Thanks again for coming in last week.
I'll get straight to the point here. I believe you would be the ideal candidate for this position. Unfortunately, your current availability just conflicts too much with the hours we would need you here. If you can somehow work out your schedule to have a more consistent daytime availability, let me know. I will be making a final hiring decision before the end of this week. Either way, I do wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Regards,
XXXXX

Even worse, what the hell am I going to do with a philosophy degree? I mean hell, I love the subject to death but there are no direct applications, outside of teaching and perhaps law, neither of which I have any great desires to go into.
For the first time, I feel like school may be impeding on what I really wish to do with my life, something in the visual media area.
