FENDER FLARES

Looking for any recommendations for fender flares on a 2017 F350. I put on some Method Wheels(-15 backspacing) with 285X75X18 tires and now they are sticking out about 2" out past the fenders which is raising havoc with rocks and mud. Looking at black and not color matched. I also do not like the bulbous look of massive fender flares but something that will get the job done with a little smaller tires that folks normally put on these trucks. Pics would be appreiated. Thanks in advance!

I just ordered a color matched set from Auto Elegance, but they do make black from EGR. They are the EGR pocket fender flares with 6" x 2" specs. I went with Auto Elegance because he has a painter that can paint the White Platinum tri-coat. Once I have them, I will throw pictures up.

I've got wider tires on a wheel without a full 5" of backspace, so I'm expecting them to hang out too. I'm going to watch this thread.

Here is my thread about the process...

Any problem with the flares rubbing through the paint? I'm getting their street flares, and am debating on how to install them so the flares don't wear the paint off.

I see no sign of wear, but I have not taken them off either.

Sorry and not the best pictures as it is sundown here in WY. Rims are Method NV 9X18 rims -15 offset, Toyo ATII Tires 285X75X18. Still looking at Fender Flares if anyone has any pics or recommendations. Think I am looking at flat black. Thanks!

I have a Fusion bumper made in Idaho, the winch is a Smittybuilt x2o waterproof 12K with Black Oak Industries Lights. I can get you some pics on Monday since am away from home at the moment without the truck.

I have the ATS painted flares which I totally love even after 10 years of running them. Unfortunately after just looking around this company has disappeared. I'm getting ready to order a new truck and was hoping to go with the same flares so does anyone know if another company picked up their products and continues to make them? They are not as big as the Bushwackers but work great with oe size tires or 1-2 sizes larger. To me they look better than most and look factory installed. The quality of the product is phenomenal as well
