3"Lift

Details & specs
Overview
Wider tires need somewhere to live. These bolt-on fender flares give your Smart Fortwo extra coverage and a rugged, built look without overwhelming its compact proportions.
Why it's worth it
- Sized to the Fortwo's body lines: larger rear flares, slightly smaller fronts
- Impact-resistant ABS plastic resists cracking, chalking and warping
- Matte black finish for a clean, OEM-style look
- Handles flex, harsh weather and rough terrain
- Adds functional fender coverage for bigger wheel and tire setups
Fitment
One flare set fits both generations: the 2008–2015 Smart Fortwo 451 and the 2016+ Smart Fortwo 453 (EQ included).
What's in the box
- Front and rear fender flares

Details

Questions about this part
Do they fit the 451 and the 453?
Yes. One flare set fits both: the 2008–2015 Smart Fortwo 451 and the 2016+ Smart Fortwo 453, EQ included.
Do I have to cut anything?
The flares bolt on with stainless steel hardware and have trim-to-fit ends, so you trim the flare to the clearance you want. The full-color instructions walk you through it.
Do they work with 215/75R15 tires?
Yes, on a 451 with our 3" lift. On the 453, the flares are part of the setup that makes room for our Maxxis 205/60R15 tires.
