Fender Flares question

I have 2016 Lariat with a 2 inch Rough Country Leveling kit and BFG 305/55/20 tires, the tires extended out about 1 inch now. My question is, how would fender Flares look, would they swallow up the tires or would they be a good look. Opinions please.

Personally I can't stand them. The factory ines I like but the huge aftermarket knew are too much for me,
But If the tires stick out about an inch I think they will be slightly inside the flares.

You might want to check the laws in your state. I know some states consider tires extending beyond the fenders/fender flairs illegal.

Talking to an acquaintance the other day, that was part of his upfit calculations. Bigger tires; mild lift, flairs to stay legal.

Fender Flares

I added the Bushwacker Pocket Style Fender Flares/ But I have 35/12.50/20 w/ a 6"lift

I like it....with 35" tires, but you have 305 so the fender will stick out more..

This. In Nevada and Utah, having your tires stick out is a sure way to get pulled over.

Personally, I could give a hoot how it looks - I need the protection. I drive a lot of dirt/gravel roads and those rocks coming off the tires don't do much good to the paint job.

I don't really care for flares or mudflaps but I hate rock chipped paint worse so I put both on my trucks.
