Hello guys,
I can't decide which flare would look better....I got to do something right off cause I just got my new wheels and tires in. What I have is a bds 2" level and for the wheels and tires, they are 22x10 -24 fuel mavericks with 35x12.5 nitto ridge grapplers. I do like the look of some tire poking out maybe an inch or so, but afraid if I get the extend a flares they may cover the entire tire, but on the other hand dont know if the oe style would be enough coverage, lol. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!!!
I'd go with the extend a fenders. If they cover the tire completely, that would be nice, but they won't. It'll be fine. I think there's a few trucks here with that setup.
You want to protect your paint due to the width increase in tires; common bolt-on.
1) You want to save your paint.
2) You like the more aggressive look with the tire outside the fender well.
OEM flares will give you maybe a 1/2” of coverage, but if painted, will more than likely get rock chips. There are flare manufacturers such as Bushwacker whom offer a models with 1” of coverage up to 2 1/2”— the more coverage the less rocks/mud/debris hitting your truck.
I recently was looking king for floor mats and noticed these flare-flap on Husky’s website.
Husky Flare Flap
this gives you a little coverage where it counts & will work as a mud flap too. Just a thought
Do you have a part number on these? I can't find the street flares for the 17/18s. Everywhere I look only has the OE or the pocket style from Bushwacker.
