Bushwacker dually flares

Hi,I will soon be bolting on my alcoas with 6 new tires.I have searched but had no luck, about using fender flares on a one ton 2wd with dual rear wheels.I don't know exactly how far they will stick out,but I wold think 2 or 3 inches at most.And I refuse to use those 80s ish square fendors factory or aftermarket they are too big and too square.I like the shape of the bushwacker fender flares and would fit more with the lines of the truck,but my truck has all of the nice race track trim and I don't want to ruin it,any ideas.
Chris

I agree, the 80's fenders are azz ugly!

The only problem I see with the bushwackers is you have to cut the wheel opening open a few more inches on the long beds for clearance of the extra tire, thus making the flare not fit the new opening..

I do like the dodge style flare myself

I like the dodge flares also,and I had considered them but still I like the shape of the ford wheel arch better and the bushwacker flares follow that shape better.I just wish that they did not have the exposed bolts.
If I could score a set of dodge flares to experiment with for cheap I would but they are too much money to waste on that does not just bolt on.
