I've googled yank sites too.. i'm not bothered if i have to import, but i'd rather buy from over here if i can! The nearest i've found are some Datsun 240ZG style flares, like these:

They’d certainly solve some problems on my 240K too. I think those on the Galant GTO were standard fitment, though I’d be amused to know the reaction of a Mitsubishi parts man should you try and order any.
Was it Hongkongphooey who got some off a Scirocco bodykit?

I can get you a set quite easily from my contacts ;D. They are almost identical to the type used in the first 3 pics you posted above. I have a set at home and could take measurements if you wish

I think they were an option, as i've seen more GTO's without them than i have with... It'd certaily be nice if Mitsubishi could still get them, but after their somewhat dismal performance so far i very much doubt it!!

I will take some pictures and post the measurements as well. That way you can work out if they fit your application(s)

I think most of the ones I've ever come across (on Toyota forums and US JDM forums and the KP61 forums) seem to be universal to many cars. They all look very similar. I guess the ones Preet is talking about are generic. I would go for a set and be prepared to shave a little off and bend them around somewhat to make them fit snugly.
Great choice btw. They'll look cool.

If arches are being sourced then like spottedlaurel, I know that my brother will definitely have some for his 240k as the offset on his wheels dictates so.
